  Must've been a fucking nice house to do 15m damage
context: I guess if you’re on the hook for a $15 million dollar damage bill, you may as well sue everyone in sight. >
  
  Maybe they can change the venue for the suit to be down in America. That kind of responsibility-ducking and carpet-suing is a little embarrassing for us. >
  
  
  
  Over-serving alcohol to a guest is probably more serious in Canada than in the United States of America.
  
  
  Of course this happened in President's Choice Brand® London. >
  
  In the US, the woman would have a case. I used to tend bar. It is the bartender's responsibility to cut people off if they are getting drunk. 
  It is actually pretty scary. I once had a patron climb over the bar and take a drink. When I took it back (because that is way illegal), I was fired because the guy was super rich. I know a bartender who cut someone off. That person came back at closing and shot the bartender twice. Bartender survived, thankfully. >
  
  Read the article, she's not suing because they over-served her. She's suing because they STOPPED serving her and kicked her out of the venue, and she claims they should've taken "steps to ensure she would not drive home."
  Basically saying by cutting her off and kicking her out it's somehow their fault because they should've known she was an idiot who would then drive home... trying to extend their liability to actions she took AFTER they removed her from their premises as if they owed her a personal babysitter to accompany her and make sure she didn't drive. >
  
  Given the jurisdiction.....she'd very well have a case.
  SmartServe training in Ontario teaches you that you're liable for a customer's safety right up until they're sober. Even if you call a cab, get them home, and they trip over a their own porch and smack their head against the doorstep.
  It's kinda over-the-top, but them's really the rules.
  ​
  It doesn't excuse criminal behaviour or fines related to such, of course. But there are fines for the establishment, and they do suck. >
  
  Smart serve training and what a civil suit would actually find are not necessarily the same thing. >
  
  For sure.
  A lack of proper evidence can cause problems for civil suits, even if that's what actually happened. >
  
  She broke a gas line with her car and it exploded 4 suburban houses. Lmao her standing in front of the house she drove into, “huh doesn’t look so bad.” massive explosion rips through neighborhood >
  
  It was probably like the end of Season 4 of Stranger Things >
  
  Most flattering picture of Marilyn Manson within the past 10 years be like >
  
  Someone else here on Reddit once said Marilyn Manson looks like Nic Cage playing Marilyn Manson and I haven’t been able to unsee it since. >
  
  Thanks >
  
  Plot twist: 
  Daddy and daughter additionally sue Manson, claiming his music inspired her to go on a bender and drive into the house.
