    It is NOT foreseeable to an ordinary reasonable person that by not supervising an underage employee afforded free reign to consume alcohol while at work, that the employee could abuse the alcohol, leave the premises after work unfit to drive, and injure a member of the general public.

    This individual was an adult (20 years of age) and should have followed the law (under the legal age to consume alcohol), and the company policy of not consuming alcohol while working.

    The Circut Court got it right.

    As for Ms. McGuire, she has every right to go after Curry and get her just due.
