The amount of alcohol you consume doesn't really matter.

It's the behavior that is punishable regardless of whether you were drinking or not.

So when your high functioning alcoholic blows a .22 after taking out a telephone pole and hurting another driver, what do you do then?

What portion of responsibility will the victims attorney pin on you?

Zero. Don't drink and drive; It's the drinkers responsibility. Do you blame the liquor store? The state liquor laws?

Nope. Serving alcohol or providing a place to drink can make you liable.

That’s why you’re usually advised to get a liability policy for weddings and large parties.
