Sure, Graham, I get what you're sayin. But I'm sayin that personal responsibility trumps Tavern liability. After all, no tavern forces their clientelle to drink. We are on a slippery slope here. How about we hold the booze makers responsibile too. After all, cigarette makers are losing lawsuites right and left for selling a dangerous product. And while we're at it, let's sue the bottle manufacturers too, cause they are supplying the vehicle that the booze is being transported in. And how about the trucking companies, which..... I would bet the lawyer associations are supporting this bill, behind the scenes. They are gonna be the one's who are gonna profit the most, milking money from the big, bad, (deep pockets) insurance companies, who supply liability policies for the tavern owners.And by the way, Iowa is a state where there are already "dram laws", wherin a tavern owner can be sued for the actions of the patrons who cause a car accident after becoming legally drunk at their establishment. It's been on the books for a lot of years now, and I was against it from the start. And as a further aside, I am not a drinker, with a couple of beers with friends a year being my usual habit.
