The Liability Of Bartenders

Social host liability laws are enacted to hold hosts accountable for any alcohol related injuries that were the result of the host serving alcohol to minors (under the age of 21 for this discussion) or adults. Presently, the State of Setonia has no formalized common-law duty addressing social host liability. In light case recently heard in the Setonia Court where a clearly intoxicated driver struck a pedestrian after departing a social gathering, it was questioned if Setonia should seek to formulate a common-law duty for social host to prevent guests from departing a social gathering and driving while intoxicated, impaired, or under the influence of alcohol. Two court decisions, with markedly opposed decisions, from Delaware (Shea v. Matassa, 2007) and North Carolina (Hart v. Ivey, 1992), were reviewed in anticipation of the potential formulation of a common-law duty of a social host to prevent guests from departing a social gathering and driving while intoxicated, impaired or under the influence of alcohol.

Not even 1 p.m. and the place already had nearly three dozen patrons. Most of them businessmen who were in their twenties and early thirties having stopped in on their lunch break to have a quick steak or partake in the twenty-five cent wing special the place had during lunch hours. Glasses of water stood before many of them. The more risky had a bottle of beer that they hoped they could sneak without their prick bosses ever finding out. It was a little taste of freedom before they had to schlep their sorry asses back to their pathetic jobs where they were wasting their lives in some cubical.

A man or a woman suffers, they have a distinct physical desire to consume alcohol beyond their capacity to control it, regardless of all rules of common sense. The symtoms of being an alcoholic is having rituals and being irritated/annoyed when these rituals are disturbed or commented on. This could be drinks before/during/after meals or after work. Dropping hobbies and activities the person used to enjoy; losing interest in them. A person who abuses alcohol may have many of these signs and symtoms- but they do not have the withdrawal symtoms like an alcoholic does, nor the same degree of compulsion to drink. Then comes along, binge drinking. When a woman consumes over six units and a man consumes more than eight units of alcohol in one sitting. Sipping wine, beer, or spirits three or four times per week increases the risk of binge drinking. Men who drink 22 or more units of alcohol a week have a 20% higher rate of admissions into acute care hospitals than non-drinkers. Healthy young adults who regularly binge drink may have a higher risk of heart disease later in life. "Underage drinking should not be a normal part of growing up. It's a serious and persistent public health problem that puts our young people and our communities in danger. Even though drinking is often glamorized, the truth is that

Next, by lowering the drinking age, it would reduce college binge drinking by promoting safer drinking habits. “The problem here is obvious. If a 21-year-old woman overindulges at the bar, the bartender, friends, or even other patrons can encourage her to stop. If she becomes ill or injured, someone is there to help” (Hall). Drinking legally in public can be beneficial in saving lives and an overall sense of safety for young adults. A bartender is responsible for each person they serve and for their safety. If you had too much to drink at a party would your friends assume the responsibility of your well being? Ordinarily, a bartender will execute everything in their

Many people have worked as a bartender one way or the other. Some during summer break or as a second job to pay off school loans. Anyone can be a bartender. But bartending is more than just mixing liquor and twirling bottles to show off. Bartenders are also unknowing therapists as customers have a tendency to talk to their bartenders about their day, relating problems and conflicts in work, families and relationships. They get to meet different types of people who may just need someone to listen to them and

I believe alcohol should never be present in a business setting. When a person, who is looking to obtain a job, goes to a social networking event, they should not be concerned about consuming the alcohol present at the event. When people are around new people for the first time and trying to connect with them, alcohol can make people appear less inelegant. This could scare off future employers from talking to a person at the social events. A company does not want to hire a person who cannot handle himself or herself at an event, where a person is trying to impress people. An example of this is, a company such as a third party marketing company, who represent another company, does not want to hire people who are not about to represent their own brand and make themselves look bad. A company wants an employee who can represents themselves with the highest class at all times and also represents the company they are working for in the future.

This is a tricky subject, but my thoughts are No. I don’t think bartenders should be held responsible. Adults are responsible for their own actions. Bars cannot be expected to know every customer’s limit pertaining to alcohol and take the blame for drunken misdoings. Thus, individuals usually come to bars to drink alcohol it’s the bartender’s job to serve them. Under some circumstances, yes a patron should be cut off. But to hold an establishment or it’s bartender responsible is ridiculous.

When they have the opportunity to drink, they do so in an irresponsible manner because drinking by these youth is seen as a badge of rebellion against authority and a symbol of adulthood. Clearly, this kind of devious attitude does not encourage responsible drinking.

He traveled the world and wrote the first known bartender book, How to Mix Drinks, in 1862. 5.Most professions are either physical or mental. Bartending is both. 6.Bartending is not typically an entry-level position. Most positions are filled from within.

Undoubtedly, the legal limit for drinking while driving desperately must be reconsidered. Driving after consuming any amount of alcohol is negligent and hazardous. The concern of drinking and driving is a state law; therefore, the rules and laws may vary among the states. Regardless, drinking while driving is an enormous concern in all 50 states and getting behind the wheel of a vehicle after consuming any amount of alcohol should not be tolerated under any circumstances. “The amount of alcohol in the bloodstream is called Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC). It is measured in milligrams percent. In most states, drinkers are presumed to be legally impaired if they have a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or higher. This is the same as one drop of alcohol in 1,200 drops of blood. While this may seem a small amount to worry about, a blood alcohol concentration of 0.30 can cause a person to go into a coma, while a blood alcohol concentration level of 0.40 could easily kill you” (Chaves County DWI Program). A surprising statistic to most people is, on average about three drinks will put an individual over the legal limit. One drink is considered 12oz beer, 3oz of wine, and 1oz of hard liquor (Arizona Department of Public Safety). Many people get behind the wheel, after having just a few drinks, believing that they have

In fact, for many people recovering from an alcohol addiction, going back to work as a bartender can serve as an important personal challenge. Being surrounded by alcohol and drinking will certainly test their self-control, and many people will relish in the chance to prove to themselves that they are more than capable of

Drinking can cause a person to have a complete personality change and become violent or hostile after drinking. They may also become irritable or panicky during times when a drink is expected. An alcoholic may drink to the point of black out; this is where they don’t remember what they’ve done or said that happened during a bout of drinking. A definite red flag for alcoholism is when a person has to have to drink in the morning when they first wake up.

The debate over the alcohol industry goes far beyond the United States, it is a global war. In Ireland there have been bills put in place to reduce the amount of alcohol consumption. One law was to lower the drink-driving limits from two to one drinks. This caused an uproar where more than 10,000 people marched. By lowering the limit this would shut down the business of small pub owners that are not close to public transportation (McGee, 2017). It’s not fair to put people out of business for others bad

“Every day, on average, 4 Canadians are killed and 175 are injured in impairment-related crashes” (Canada’s Stats on Drinking and Driving, 2015). With Safe Glass in effect in bars around Canada, this number can be reduced dramatically. Safe Glass is looking to change the way people look at safety in bars, while saving Canadians every day. This product uses technology that tracks the amount of alcohol each customer in the bar has consumed. This makes it easy for the bar tender to cut someone off or find them a safe way home when they have drank too much. Safe Glass also keeps track of the contents of every customers drink. This technology stops all chances of people spiking drinks, which is a major problem in bars today.

To begin, being a bartender will have you putting in the late night work hours. Being a night owl is an understatement in this career. Many bars close in the early morning, and leave the bartender to clean up the trash and spilled drinks left behind. The last concern a barkeep would have is spending two hours cleaning after babysitting drunk customers all night. The bartender is
