    Good call on the part of the court. Perhaps the claimant and her friend will think twice before their next outing to a bar — and hopefully they’ll both be legal when they do go out again.

    Both of them “tee-heeing” because they pulled one over on the bartender. Didn’t expect that outcome, did they?

    Courts got this one right. Quite a bit of guts to sue the bar that you drank at with your friend. I’m sure she was aware that her friend was underage. And she elected to get in the car. The nerve of people never seems to stop amazing me…

    I could see the merit of a case if the friend was overserved at any age but you sat there knowing that you were breaking the law and then you try to sue the establishment that in essence you were defrauding. What an idiot.

    Nice to see the court rule on the side of personal responsibility.

    This would be like a bank robber who got injured while robbing a bank, then suing the bank.

    I agree…it is so nice to see a court finally put some accountability back on the party that was truly responsible. I would never want to own a bar or an establishment that serves alcohol with all of the liability issues to consider.
