    Very true answer... or atleast the law should make sure of that. However, there have been cases in the past where either the victim of the drunken crash, or a spouse of the victim placed a lawsuit on the person that provided the alcohol. I remember one well known case where the defendant was a bartender in a pub or club of some kind. He had to pay restitution to the deceased's family after the court case because the judge said he should have known when to cut the man off and send him home. So just keep in mind, these days people will sue you over anything. And even if 75% of the nation would think you are right, doesn't guarentee the court will agree with it...
