IIRC, the laws regarding this changed after an incident up in Lafayette in the late 70's or early 80's. I can't remember the name of the restaurant/bar, but it was on 26, just east of 52/Sagamore Pkwy. Bartender "over-served" a patron and they left and hit a pedestrian that was walking along 26. I wound up working at that restaurant for a little while. Shortly after I started, they changed the name (but it was the same owners) to "Redmondo's" and it became a BBQ place, known for their sauce that had mango chutney in it. It went out of business maybe a year later. Owner let me haul out many cases of beer for free.Do you not know any alcoholics? I fully support laws prohibiting servers from serving visibly impaired customers more alcohol. Would you think it cool if the local bar kept feeding drinks, to run up the tab, to your friend that had too much alcohol and was no longer capable of rational decisions? The business of serving mind altering substances in public comes with as much responsibility as that of the imbiber.
I ask again, bars and servers “should” be serving visibly impaired customers?
