Mike arrived at the tavern with four friends at 10 p.m. They had
already consumed 12 - 15 beers prior to arriving. Although the
server observed signs of intoxication in Mike shortly after he
arrived, she proceeded to serve him three beers over the
course of one hour.
Mike and his friends decided to drive to another town. The
server did nothing to stop the group from driving. Later, while
traveling on the highway, Mike rolled his car and was seriously
injured. Mike sued the tavern for injuries and lost wages. The
tavern argued that Mike was intoxicated before arriving and
therefore, already a danger to himself and others.
Can the tavern be held liable for selling and serving alcohol to a
customer who was already intoxicated before arriving at their
establishment? - ANSWER -Yes. The decision of the court was

stop them from driving. As a result, the tavern was found liable.
