Individuals should be held responsible for how much they consume especially if they are driving. Restaurants, bars, sporting events, casinos, clubs, class reunions, etc.. should not have to determine which people are driving and how much they consume and how much they can hold.

It is amazing that a jury can find that the drunk is only 35% responsible and the restaurant 65% reponsible for his drinking too much and then driving. Did they think the restaurant forced fed him or something? Did they think the restaurant forced him to drive? This appears to be another example of going after the deep pockets instead of putiing the blame on the real culprit.

We are becoming a nation of blameless victims. I cannot imagine being on a jury that ruled like this one did.
