Subject: RE: This goes too far
Bars and bartenders push alcohol, and nothing is done about it. Everywhere in New Jersey, patrons come in and drink for hours and hours, opening to closing, and they keep getting served, even when they're drivers. We need more stringent laws and more examples of bartenders being held personally liable and losing their homes for ignoring how much they have served a patron and just continuing to ring up the cash register and the tips. After working in the court system for many years, it is painfully evident that alcohol destroys lives. Pushers of alcohol who do not obey the law should be held accountable and punished!
When I tended bar during college, I refused to serve intoxicated patrons. Sometimes the owner would serve them personally then, depending on who they were. He took that liability on himself.
I agree with any lawsuits making bar owners and bartenders take heed of the law and help to save lives -- both of alcoholics and the innocent public!
