I'm not sure how to compare the two since I don't have any details on this situation other then the guy was underage and served at possibly two different bars. Fill me in with more could ya? As for the drunk driver killing someone after leaving a bar and the bar being held liable, well that isn't anything new. I know I first heard of a bar being held liable for letting a drunk person leave the club & drive back in the late 80s after a bar I drank at was under investigation for that very reason. Luckily (for the bar) there were witnesses (myself included) that could verify that the bar did indeed ask & take the guys keys. Unfortunately, he took a cab home, then back to the bar with his keys & drove anyway, killing someone in the process. I do feel however that an establishment that serves alcohol does have some responsibility to the public regarding safety. [color:red][edit to add] One difference I guess I could point out is that, once the guy was at home the bar has no responsibility for what he does.
