...laws created by state legislatures to make bars and strictly liable for injuries stemming from the sale of alcoholic beverages. Dram shop actions are actions for personal injuries and/or property damage arising out of the unlawful furnishing of alcohol by a retail liquor licensee. However, vicarious liability is the liability which falls on one person as a result of an action of another. In modern dram shop lawsuits, dispensing alcohol to minors poses the greatest risk of liability because many courts permit recovery even though the minor was not intoxicated at the time of the purchase or had previously obtained alcohol from another source. Additionally, proving that the alcohol vendor should have known that a patron was underage is a simple matter in light of strict alcoholic beverage control rules that require servers first check identification to confirm the patron’s birth date and Serving alcoholic beverages to a person who is already intoxicated is also a profound liability hazard in many states even though ,it is difficult to develop bright line characteristics that identify the intoxicated patron who should not be further served. I believe alcohol plays a role in many different types of incidents involving personal injuries or death; a dram shop action may be included with other types of causes of action against a variety of defendants. To me, I've got mixed feelings about this. Though generally speaking, a bar patron is considered an "invitee". An invitee...

...Beverage Sales Vance Tate Michael Calabrase HTT/240 October 19, 2014 Food establishments serving liquor in addition to selling food is another way to increase revenue within the restaurant. Some customers will come in to have appetizers and drinks while watching their sports team play. Some will come in and have a business party or a large gathering or friends or coworkers to celebrate success for a special occasion and these are the customers that are more open to buying alcoholic beverages. This leads to why owners or restaurants want to buy alcohol because it is something that is socially excepted when spending leisurely time with friends or just trying to relax from a long day at work. Majority of establishments that sale alcohol makes a large part of the revenue from these sales. Choosing a vendor is something that is very cost effective and important to a place that is to sale food or alcoholic beverages. When finding the right vendor you will be able to create a great relationship and be able to get great prices. The hard part is fining a vendor that has good prices with quality. One rule of thumb is buying alcohol that is accepted but not on the high end but not on the low end. When customers get cheap alcohol that makes it so they are not going to want to buy from that establishment. But if a customer is not able to afford that alcohol because it is on the high end, then customers will not come in to spend their money. They would rather spend their...

...the stereotypical yet evidently true battle between the youth and the more matured adults. In one case, teens have suffered losses as big as having to complete school or acquire a GED to reach a certain level of employment. While in other cases, the fight for earning one’s driving license at the age of sixteen appealed to the favor of teens. Currently, the dispute that is now being presented touches a subject that if ever addressed by the government, would change the way America operates forever: the age of consent for drinking. The debate is simple- the teens want it lowered against the adults who would like it to stay the same. The issue stirs major controversy mainly to focus on the safety of young adults, and how the consumption of alcohol can affect the mortality rate in their age bracket. However, there are firm rebuttals that show that lowering the legal drinking age to eighteen can not only benefit society, is the only fair addition to the list of rights and privileges one assumes when they reach America’s definition of adulthood. The pros and cons of the issue both have their strong and weak points aimed towards convincing their respective counter retorts. Yet when push comes to shove, it’s hard to deny that the law surrounding the drinking age in its standing, is not only unfair to young adults, but hypocritical. The arguments against lowering the age, while true, do not run parallel with the issue of a drinker’s age. All in all, the argument over changing the legal...

...Project 1 The Corner Bar and Grill Floyd Hines (812)781-1071 fahines@eagles.usi.edu MKTG 305 Kevin Talley (812)480-7881 2668 Mount Vernon Ave Evansville, IN 47712 Submitted To: Dr. Sang Choe University of Southern Indiana The Corner Bar and Grill is a bar on the west side of Evansville and a staple in the community. It is the only recognized Greenbay Packers bar in the state of Indiana. It is known for its competitive prices on food and beer; also, for its famous and iconic “Slim Jim.” The Corner Bar is a very interesting place because its demographic slightly changes based on the time you enter the door; from the older gentlemen talking Reitz and Mater Dei football in the morning, to the after work crowd of construction workers, and finally to the after dinner crowd of college students. The Corner Bar and Grill does not have a known date of establishment as it has gone through multiple purchases over the years. The previous owner licensed it initially in 1998 and sold it to the current owner, Kevin Talley, in 2005. It is a unique place in the fact that it does not serve liquor, it only serves beer and wine. When asked why, the short answer is that The Corner is supposed to be a relaxed area for friends to meet and watch sports and they don’t want the headache that comes with serving liquor. They are know for their iconic “Slim Jim” which is a 32oz beer mug used to serve beer fresh from the tap. Their grill is one of the few open for breakfast, lunch and...

...beverage industry serving the people of the city of Minneapolis. This is a non-bias report to provide statistical information for the citizens of Minneapolis to better educate them on the ramifications of their city’s council vote against smoking at a food and beverages establishments. In 2005 the city of Minneapolis enacted a citywide indoor smoking ordinance, which included restaurant and bars found within the city. The representatives for the restaurants and bars claimed that by enacting this law would negatively affect their livelihood. They claimed that they would have an extreme loss of revenue because of the close association between the consumption of alcohol and the smoking of cigarettes especially by people frequenting these types of establishments. The representatives of the local hospitality industry continue to make these claims and requested that this study to validate their position with hopes to have the law reversed. The city also wanted to do this study to combat other similar studies with negative results from groups attempting to have the ordinance changed.

Although the police were legally justified in raiding the club, which was serving liquor without a license among other violations, New York’s gay community had grown frustrated of the police department targeting gay clubs, a majority of which had already been closed earlier that year. The protest that started on Christopher Street, however, spilled over onto the neighboring streets. Order was not restored until the New York’s riot police was deployed.

...the O’Malley Tavern I would say that of course Mr. Hard is at fault for drinking and driving, but I also feel that O’Malley’s Tavern is also at fault for over serving a customer to the point of excessive intoxication. The facts of the case were very clear cut and obvious to me. The bartender at O’Malley’s Tavern served Mr. Hard six beverages within the last half hour he was at the bar. On the tab Mr. Hard paid it showed that he ordered 13 drinks and that 11 of them were consumed by Mr. Hard. His blood alcohol content was at a .20, which is two times the legal limit of .08. Being in the medical field and also being a Command Drug and Alcohol Program Advisor for the Navy I know that at a .20 there is no way you are of sound mind to do anything. Usually a person with this Blood alcohol content are confused, they need help completing tasks (standing, walking, using the bathroom), they are between 50-100 times more likely to get into an accident, and they are very close to being incoherent. At 7:43pm Mr. Hard left the bar, according to the bartender, appearing to be of sound mind and judgment. He was picked up by the police at 7:55pm slurring, disheveled and with no recollection of what had happened. Clearly this man had way too much to drink and should have never been served this much in such a short period of time. According to the Dram Shop Act Indiana Code 7.1-5-10-15.5 “Sec. 15. (a) It is unlawful for a person to sell, barter, deliver, or give away an alcoholic beverage...

...to 18 For years upon years there has been a huge debate on whether or not the minimum legal drinking age should be twenty one or eighteen. In the year of 1980 a law was passed that changed the minimum legal drinking age from eighteen to twenty one in order to decrease the amount of car crashes and fatalities and to keep alcohol out of the hands of an "irresponsible" age group (Ruth Streeter). Since the raising of the drinking age, more harm has been done than good and the drinking age should be lowered back down to eighteen, given some restrictions and changes. While each state was given the option of whether or not to support this act, the government threatened to cut highway funds if the states kept their drinking age to eighteen. It is strange that an eighteen to twenty year old can vote for our Nation's leader, risk their life fighting for our freedom, and be viewed as an adult, yet still cannot sit down and have a few drinks. At the age of eighteen one is considered an adult. This title of "adult" basically gives people the opportunity to make life changing decisions like voting, buying tobacco products, getting married, signing contracts, serving on juries, having abortions, and being drafted into or joining the military. Scientists claim that the pre-frontal cortex of the brain in which controls judgment is not fully developed until the mid twenties, which then leads to people against lowering the drinking age to claim that opportunities new "adults" take on are not...

...driving while under the influence of alcohol. Driving while under the influence is most seen in 21 to 25 years old. I found this information to be interesting because are demographic has a high tendency to drive while being under the influence of alcohol. I’m more interested in the effects of drunk driving on teens and adults because it is something that affects anybody who drives an automobile now a days. There is something you should know about driving under the influence. One of out every three Americans on the road has been involved in an alcohol related car crash sometime in their life time. Those are really bad odds looking at the fact that most Americans are on the road for at one hour per day. I’m very interest to learn more about the effects of driving under the influence on teenagers and adults. Most people who drive under the influence don’t actually realize the harm they can actually cause until the minute after the accident has happened. Most drunk driving incidents can be avoided with just a simple phone call. What drunk drivers don’t seem to understand is they are endangering not just their own life but everyone on the roads with them. For example, “In 2013, a total of 1,149 children fourteen and younger were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes. Of those 1,149 fatalities, 200 (17%) occurred in alcohol-impaired driving crashes. Out of those 200 deaths, 121 (61%) were occupants of vehicles with drivers who had blood alcohol contents of .08 or higher, and another...

...are known to be at a greater risk of developing the habit themselves. A few researches have recognized that family members of an alcoholic are about three-to-four fold have more of chance to develop the addiction in comparison with the people who are not alcoholics. One aspect behind the link between hereditary and alcoholism might be the tendency to take pleasure in alcohol more than the rest of the people. People who are closely linked to an alcoholic, inclusive of brothers, sisters as well as children, do not have a negative reaction to drinking alcohol. This is possible because of them carrying the gene that makes alcohol utilize more agreeable, which could make the habit more possible (Moore, Smith & Catford, 1994). Dopamine and Alcoholism The dopamine system of the brain is also likely to play a role in the growth of alcoholism. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter which is in the brain that lets people feel a sense of pleasure (Moore et l., 1994). People who have issues in the dopamine production and use systems are more alike to become habitual to drugs and of different types, which include alcohol. The mechanisms of the dopamine systems are yet to...

...did not contribute to her injuries. Question 5: Bill Alcohol Level and the Car Accident According to the BAC Bill’s alcohol level is .08 which indicates that he is legally inebriated. As a consequence he got into a case of reckless an inexperienced driving, rather than just driving under the influence. One can infer this because he is barely on the mark that indicates that he is intoxicated. With this level of alcohol in his blood he is slightly impaired. For instance, his balance, is not stable, he shows a slurred speech, slow reaction time, hiss memory and his vision hearing ability are compromised, but not to the point that he is totally dysfunctional. Of course, he was driving illegally and he is liable. While he is not unconscious, his judgment, self-control, and a feeling of euphoria take place, causing the person to take unnecessary risks. ‘ Considering that he probably seems intoxicated, his friend Jim, is a liable as him. He was injured, but he is liable because he knew that he was taking a risk by getting a ride from a drunken friend. Also, he is liable for providing an inebriated person another drink. Unfortunately, we cannot have information, which indicates that the bartenders of Barney’s realized that he was legally intoxicated. They saw him leaving with a friend, which they probably believed was the designated driver. Therefore, if they genuinely did not notice that he was intoxicated, the bar will prevail. However, if Jim or Bill can prove that he...

...Should the Legal Drinking Age be lowered to 18? Ryan A. Conklin is a soldier who enlisted into the Army at the age of 17. He was deployed to Iraq when he was just 20 years old. In his book, he wrote about his daily duties of a soldier in Iraq and all of the sights and sounds that he witnessed. He makes a comment in his book about the drinking age in the United States. He states “I was twenty years old, and on April Fools’ Day, I would turn twenty-one finally legal to drink in a bar. Unfortunately, I was two-and-a-half years into serving my country and was living in a combat zone, and I found it odd that until then I was still not allowed to drink alcohol in the States. A law I hope will be changed in my lifetime.” Different cultures and societies respond different to alcohol in terms of how much they can drink and what their bodies can handle. The legal age to consume alcohol in the U.S. should be lowered to eighteen for the sake of the people, the economy, and safety. When a male or female turns the age of 18, they now reserve the right to serve in the military. When war broke out with Iraq, people were chosen to go over that just turned the age of 18. In the book “An Angel in Hell” by Ryan A. Conklin, he stated “he would always wake up hoping that that day was not the last day he would be on this Earth. He was always on high alert while on patrols, dodging bullets and shooting his own gun just to stay alive.” He also said, in his book, “that he found it odd and annoying...
