Holding the bar responsible? I don't agree with that. Think about it. Why should it be the responsibility of some 20 year old waitress running around like a chicken with her head cut off on a busy Saturday night to monitor her patron's alcohol consumption? And even if she did, would she cut everyone off if they had more than 1 drink an hour? Are bars now supposed to tell people how much they should and shouldn't drink?
It is a person's own responsibility to monitor their own alcohol consumption. If you have troubles doing that, then please proceed to 12 step program nearest you.

As a waiter, I know that we have to offer cabs to our patrons if they are obviously drunk. We need to offer once on our own, and then once with a witness so that the person can't sue us if he refuses the cab and kills somebody or himself driving home.
