You can resent it or not but one would have to be thicker than two planks not to understand that question. There is nothing convoluted about the phrasing, it is straightforward. However, let me break it up into simple parts so that you may stand a chance of understanding; 1. An obviously drunk person enters a bar and orders a drink (with me so far?) 2. The bartender serves him a drink. 3. The obviously drunk person drinks the drink. (keeping up?) 4. The obviously drunk person leaves the bar gets into his car and drives away. 5. The obviously drunk person has an accident because he is ..well..drunk and he is injured. Question: Who is responsible for the obviously drunk person's injury, himself or the bartender who served him his last drink? If you think the responsibility lies with the bartender explain why.
