We had a 19 yr old college girl fall from a stairwell here in town recently and all anyone could think about was prosecuting the people who served her alcohol rather than concentrating on the fact that she was a complete moron for getting so drunk. Her BAC was 0.32. Who is ultimately responsible...I would say she is. Unfortunately she learned her lesson by paralyzing herself from the neck down. I don't need the govt telling me what I can eat and drink or what I can feed my children, I am intelligent enough to decide on my own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-28507520240685512722010-11-30T09:33:19.838-05:002010-11-30T09:33:19.838-05:00Amen!Amen!Tango Juliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07593296126387219845noreply@blogger.com
