If bartenders can go to jail for over-serving a drunk person who then harms someone,then Presidents should go to jail when criminals they pardon commit new crimes!
Not my original thought, but it made me stop and think

(21,517 posts)I didn't over-serve, but always worried what if they were already drunk when they walked in, and I served them two drinks?

(2,100 posts)I worked in the restaurant and bar business for 24 years before I moved on to greener pastures and I was always afraid of that. I've seen people come in, sit down at the bar, looking and acting as sober as a judge, have one drink and fall out on the floor. As a matter of fact, I worked one place where a district judge was a regular at lunch and he passed out at the table and the owner said anyone who cuts him off is automatically fired. I refused to serve him so someone else did. Then he woke up and I assume, went back to court for the afternoon docket, sending drunk drivers to jail, no doubt.
I got hundreds of stories like that and I'm sure you do too, Polybius.
