Babysitting drunks should not be part of a bartender's job description, but there it is.
There is a bit of a difference here. The bartender is in direct contact with the customer and can see the customer's condition. This is akin to suing the liquor manufacturer or distributor.
Nonsense.
Read the passage in question again. Henigan is advocating the abdication of personal responsibility.
The last time that was done on a legislative basis was with bartenders. Now they have to babysit drunks or be held liable for actions that really have nothing to do with them.
