This whole scenario could've been completely avoided if the person in question had stayed away from the sauce to begin with.

But let's outraegeously tax cigarettes, because they kill so many people....
whoa whoa whoa

Don't tax the tobacco industry. They need their money to fight the lawsuits filed by people with lung cancer.

and drive home. While driving home you hit someone and kill them with your car. Whose responsibility is this? Yours? The casinos?

Legally both are responsible. The last place that served the individual is responsible for not noticing if a client is too inebriated to drink further and should have been cut off. There are signs or indicators.
AND
The individual for not taking responsibilty for there own behaviors.

Ah, yet another legal debate, we're arresting and sueing everybody for everything these days, aren't we? Look at the logic here. One could easily beat this system, by bar-hopping. You'd be surprised how many people do it. You go to the Sahara, have 3 drinks, leave, you go to the Riviera, have 3 drinks, leave, Treasure Island, 3 drinks, leave, then it's on to the Mirage, have 3 drinks, leave for the MGM, and on your way, you plow into the back of a car, killing 2 people and seriously injuring 2 others. Now who is responsible? Duh? You are!!! Not the last place that gave you 3 drinks, not the first, not all of them. You are!!!

I have zero pity or tolerance for drunk drivers. You can sleep it off in your car if you have to. Nevar evar...EVAR drink and drive....evar.

The reality is that legally both can be held accountable ...

I'm a believer in personal responsibility though. I think it is ridiculous to blame someone else for my own actions.

Should a restaurant not serve country fried steak with mashed potatos & gravy to an obese customer? Afterall, they could have that heart attack on the way home and kill someone.

Could I sue a dress shop for selling me a dress that I wore on a first date and never got asked for a 2nd date?

How about a grocery or liquor store who sells the alcohol to the person who causes grief after drinking it?

Interesting, eh?

Thankfully, this wouldn't be happening to me because whoever was with me at the Sahara would be scooping me up off the floor and throwing me over his Catsloveme shoulder. End of evening.slaphead

Yep, it sure is! On Monday, I'm getting my attorney and we're going to sue the Franzia Box Wine company for what they did to my ex. :wink:

Ah, you like the Sahara too. Cool! Cheap, fun, good times, even though she's an older casino. I've had a lot of good memories there, but mostly at the Blackjack tables. The Sahara is a great place to mingle on the Strip. Lots of interesting people walk through the doors. :wink: laugh :tongue:
