Many states hold the drinking establishment responsible for drunk drivers. That is wrong.
Labor Day is a big drinking holiday for big drinkers. Actually, any excuse to get drunk for those slugs of humanity. In another blog (http://goo.gl/qHnlY) I wrote about those who drink and drive. Do not mistake this blog as one that excuses excess drinking or drinking and driving. I do no such thing.
My purpose here is to point out that the sole responsibility for deaths, injuries, and damages as a result of drinking and driving lies with the drinker/driver. No one else. Unless the drinker were held down and the bartender forced booze down the throat of a patron, the responsiblity is solely the driver's.
It's not the restaurant that made you fat, and it is not the bartender who made you drunk. You did.
