Perry and Peter's examples here are much different than the bartender's. The liquor store nor the farmer sat there and watched a person get drunk. The bartender can monitor the patron's status when they come up and order each drink. If they are too drunk, cut them off.
Once again, I'm not saying it's right for the bartender to be sued, but they do hold a little bit more of an obligation than the liquor store or the farmer. At least in the smaller, more personable bars. A bit harder for a bartender to be responsible at a club that has over 200 people in it.

have you been to crowded bar? there is no way that a bar tender, unless he had his own private bartender, "sat there and saw him get drunk". Also, there is almost no chance that dunn went up and got each of his own drinks. i guess the valet is responsible also for letting him drive, Porsche is responsible for not putting in breathalyzers or letting the GT3RS go above 40, and the psp is responsible for not pulling him over sooner. The guy got dumb and he got dead. Darwin handed him an award...this is a huge loss for the world. Man, no one could take a shot to the nuts like that guy

You didn't read my last sentence.

And once again, I'm not applying this to Dunn's case. Video evidence shows he didn't look that bad when he left the bar.
