IMHO, management should instruct their servers when to cut people off
Maybe the authorities should check and post the results of which establishments have the most patrons who get arrested for DUI--
Health violations are published

The restaurants would be damned if they do and damned if they don't. Then some with a snoot full would take on the restaurant staff, perhaps physically, and if LEO are called, lawyers could be involved. Some people can appear sober even when they are three sheets to the wind. Some people can "handle" more alcohol than others. What people should do and what people could do and what people would do is often different than what people do do. Do you see where I'm going?
I don't drink alcohol at all. Don't smoke. Sometimes that marks me off of some invites that are fun. I still have fun here in The Villages. |
I do not drink nor smoke either, graciegirl.
If a regular customer at some bar well known to the bartender looks drunk I do think it would be the friendly thing to tell the person that he should stop drinking. But the person might just go to the next bar around the corner and start drinking there.
My late younger brother was a long term alcoholic and it finally killed him around the Thanksgiving Holiday of 2014. We have quite a lot of experience dealing with alcoholism. It takes quite a toll when a family member is addicted. And they take great efforts to get the next drink no matter how hard you try to stop them.
Alcoholics Anonymous works for some if the addict accepts the program. My younger brother never really did. I miss him often but do not miss all the alcoholic drama. It went on from 1998- 2014. Quite a lot of hardship for everyone in the family.
