Should Bartenders Be Held Responsible for the Behavior of Their Patrons?

                                                 Who's Monitoring the Local Watering Hole?

                                                                                    

We have all been to the local bar where their has been a drunk unruly customer. Who is at fault for this behavior? Now, I understand that the bartender is not a babysitter on the flip side the bartender should be aware as to how much booze a customer has consumed.
 The customer may not be drinking directly at the bar. If they are being waited on by a waiter or waitress they should report any over drinking and bad behavior.




This is not good behavior!



This is not great behavior to have in a bar. If someone becomes so intoxicated it is this writers opinion that the bar owner, the bartender, and or the waitstaff should be held responsible if their is a bar fight or even worse a drunk driving accident. The establishment should be in charge if someone has been over served and take the patrons car keys away and offer for a cab ride home. The alternative could be fatal.


This is the alternative. We should all be responsible human beings. If we over drink in an establishment that establishment should cut you off and make sure you leave safely and do not operate a motor vehicle.
