I DON’T KNOW A PERFECT ANSWER. MY ANSWER IS THAT I WOULD NOT OWN A BAR. HOWEVER, IF A PERSON IS OF LEGAL AGE UNDER THE LAW, HE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS OWN ACTIONS, AND IF HE DECIDES TO DRINK, AND OVERIMBIBES, THAT SHOULD BE ENTIRELY HIS OWN FAULT!!!
You are absolutely right. Too bad we don’t have any responsibility available for sale any more.
This all arises out of the mantra “It takes a village to raise a child.” No, it doesn’t; it takes parents that will teach the child to be responsible by holding them accountable for their actions.
It takes a family (traditional or non-traditional) to raise the child. The village has enough of its own problems to worry about.
Once a person learns to be accoutable, they don’t look to point fingers.
Unfortunately, we are in a society of troubled personalities and addictions. Alcohol is not only a drug, but a legal one. In addition, may children are born addicted, through Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Look around you at the people who drink on a regular basis. Sadly astounding. Once a person drinking alcohol reaches a certain point, they are many times unable to rationally determine if they have had “too much.” So if you’re going to serve a legal drug with laws attached, be ready to obey them or suffer the consequences. My “anger” is in the disgusting fact that bartenders/owners/managers often are well aware the person is impaired but choose to put money first, disregarding the law and the public safety.
IT’S VERY SIMPLE REALLY—-IF I HAVE AN ADDICTION, I SHOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE NEAR MY TEMPTATION! SO IF MY PROBLEM IS ALCOHOL, I JUST DO NOT GO INTO A BAR IN THE FIRST PLACE. I THEN DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH WHEN I HAVE HAD ENOUGH, AND NEITHER DOES THE POOR BARTENDER!

Why didn’t I think of that?! With so few bars and liquor stores, that should be so simple! You should run for office!
Ask most of the people you know if they would give up drinking socially, and you’ll see the extent of the problem
