Why Do Bartenders Go Wrong

Improved Essays
I believe that bartenders, and social hostess, and etc. should be held liable to for the death or injury of another person do the level of intoxication for someone he or she served alcohol beverage to at the bar. At a bar we all can notice the group of people that are getting to the point of no return when it comes to alcohol. We all tend to notice the guy who is stumbling or walking up to a female and trying to talk to them with throw up coming down their face, Or the guy who thinks he’s a famous break dancer on the floor acting a fool. There is one person who can see this all beforehand and that is the bartender. Not only do they see it they see the evolution from sober to intoxicate. They are the ones allowing an individual get to that point where they can’t think or care for themselves. At some point the bartender for example should have said sorry man this is where you are cut off or can someone find this guy his party so he can go home. But instead some bartenders continue to serves the individual alcoholic beverages knowingly …show more content…
Bartenders should be able to keep track of those who are purchasing drinks. Also bartenders should communicate with security or other employees about certain people who may be at that level of intoxication. For example bartenders should be able to notify security when someone is starting to get to that level of intoxication or if they notice that a party has been pounding shot after shot trying to leave. This can help security to stop the party from driving while intoxication or be able to identify who in that group can take care of the group. If bartenders don’t communicate with everyone else, that can cause the party to get behind the wheel and drive putting everyone on the road in danger, not just any danger but danger that can lead to someone’s

However, states that do not have dram shop laws, follow case law (Haafke v. Mitchell, 1984). Regardless, the bar should argue that Count did not look visibly intoxicated and they should not be held responsible. In a similar case, Haafke vs. Mitchell, Haafke was killed when Mitchell wrecked their vehicle after being allowed to leave a bar intoxicated in the state of Iowa. Dram shop laws are in effect in Iowa, which is why the bar was found to be responsible for allowing their patrons to leave and drive intoxicated (Haafke v. Mitchell,…

    Do you know someone that has consumed alcohol at an early age? Growing up alcohol was very evident in my local junior high and high school. My peers consistently talked about going out on the weekends, sometimes even the week and boasting about being the biggest drinker at a local bar they snuck in to or even going as far as describing extravagant narratives about not remembering the night before from partying too extensively.

The best statistics show there is a correlation between 3 factors, alcohol use, sorority membership, and class status, and sexual assault on campus.

    According to NIH (National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism), 5,000 people under the age of 21 die each year due to alcohol-related accidents, such as car wrecks, suicides, alcohol poisoning, homicides, burns, falls, and drownings("Under-aged”). However, think of the young men and women who have died to fend for our country, and not being able to have that first drink with their father, or go out and drink with their friends. Yes drinking can be dangerous in situations, but I believe that if a young man or woman can go die for their country, or even be able to make the important decision on who will lead our country.
