The restaraunt is responsible for how much alcohol a person consumes. I work at a restaraunt. They stress this to everyone who works there. If a person appears to be intoxicated we are to cut them off and make sure we get them a ride with someone who is sober. Even if it means calling the cops and letting the cops drive the person home or calling a cab for the person. They give us 3 levels of intoxication and even though it might not sound fair, outback is responsible. 39 million sounds a bit outrageous I'll be the first to admit that. Nonetheless, these are the laws and the bartender/server should've recognized the fact that the man was drunk.
