Bartender culpability

“Are they thy punters’ keepers?” If we excuse the lousy grammar, we can answer “yes, in California”. Bartenders absolutely have culpability when serving drinks to inebriated customers. But everyone who has been in the situation will understand the difficulty when it’s your friend who gets behind the wheel after having too many. What do you do, physically restrain him? Call the cops? Or just decide never to drink with the person again?

France just decided that the Fraisses were not culpable.  I wonder what California would say.
