I disagree. That is the person's choice. The bars and resaurants don't pour it down their throat. If a person wants to consume too much that is their choice. That's like saying "I had a heart attack because McDonald's served me an extra burger" and "The tobacco companies gave me cancer becuse I kept buying their products even though there was a huge warning on the label". People that drink too much and get themselves into trouble only have themselves to blame. When I was younger, I got myself into trouble because I had too much to drink and decided to drive home. It wasn't the bar's fault. It was mine. I payed my fines and did what I was supposed to do. Holding the bars responsible just gives people another place to point the finger. Ok, I'm stepping off the soapbox now.
