text: I think that whatever happens in the host's house should be the host's responsibility, but whatever happens after the guests leave the host's driveway, is the sole responsibility of the persons involved- not the host of the house they just left. If everything becomes the host's responsibility, then a whole new can of worms will be opened and then to what extent, how much, when, and what happened has to be defined and it becomes too complicated for anyone to resolve whose responsibility it is. When it comes to drinking, the same applies for in house rules (especially under-age drinking) but after the guests leave, drunk or sober, it is their responsibility. EXAMPLE: If I leave a bar or restaurant and I had a few drinks and drive home drunk and crash into another car, is the bartender/waiter responsible for what happened because I drank at their place? No. People need to learn to become more responsible for their actions. Too many loop-holes and laws are being made that allow for people to do as they please b/c it is not their fault. Accountablity is a major factor the success of any society.
