Mr Lastbat: The reason I correctly contend that bars are (also) responsible is because; then who will observe, judge & act at the point of need, that the drinker is unsound for consumpyion or more consumption. The barkeepis supposed to be a professional bartender; the kind of a guy..(-and you've heard them say/brag) that they can "spot a drunk at 30 feet".
Admittedly, no bartender forces a guy to drink, but my experience is that the same bartender may scarf-up as many "20's" from the jerk as he can, before "deciding" the guys' had enough.
It's at that point that the ultimate danger begins:
will he drive, walk, bother or be abother to someone along the way ?
Does/doesn't/shouldn't the bar have some legal responsibiltyto at least call his kin or a cab, or if none..the Police, so they can check the guy out, and maybe dry him out overnight as a guest of the county, and in doing so very possibly save alife or lives ?
So there's a whole process to identifying, addressing and stopping the guy from leaving until he's under control, -or controlled

joseph: Where did you read I said the perp was an illegal alien.
Read it again carefully
I said that anyone caught DUI/DWI, and not a citizen of the US should be deported, and that many times (here; I'll interject, my observation & experience)is that they are from third world countries of origin.
And being a holder of the Medal of Honor does not give anyone the right to drive DUI/DWI irrespective of their ethnicity.
Me ?
Yes: my origin is from the third world

Terry: Refer my comments above to joseph.
Ditto.

Ralph: Thank you, and kindly continue to do your part to talk to everyoneto drive safely & soberly

We are now at the doorstep of the Holidays, friends
I think each of us can do our part to encourage sober driving, and to promote this to law-makers so we can stop this dreadful carnage
