An addition to your list  would be case of Linda Hunt of Collingwood,
Ontario. After consuming much booze at a staff party she was asked
repeatedly by her employer and also her co-workers if they could call
her husband or a taxi to take her home. She refused and drove to a bar
 where she continued her binge. After many drinks she left the bar and
was involved in a motor vehicle crash.
She sucessfully sued her boss for not wrestling her to ground and taking
her keys if he suspected she was too drunk to drive. The settlement of
$300,000.00 is in effect paying her for drunk driving and removing any
personal responsibility from her. She claims she was brain damaged in
the crash but one would wonder if there was any change from before the
crash.
This is yet another example which shows we don't have to be responsible
for our actions..
