In defense of (most) bar owners, having held liquor licenses, been an owner, a bartender, server, and trainer of both I can tell you that NO ONE who works in this field wants to serve someone 'til they're drunk and let them drive. And the folks I know working in this field are extremely conscientious about following the law in letter and spirit. Laws are only good as their enforcement, and the follow-through in the court system, which is where I have personally seen the whole net fray apart. I've known many a drunk driver let off by the courts who should never, ever drive again. And some who should have been hurt more than they were to keep it from happening again. Dani
