The thing that bothers me about that general statement by the bar owner is how many people has he over served and knew got into a car and drove home.
Maybe his number is ZERO???
However I have been to plenty of restaurants and bars in my life, and have scene people leave in what I would consider an intoxicated state maybe they drove maybe they did'nt. Drunk driving is a real problem, I dont see many restaurants and bars that take your keys on the way in(i have heard of some) they want to check your guns at the door so you dont "impress your girlfriend", but its ok if you buy the booze and drive away?????
