Once Upon a time, in what now seems a former life I was a bartender. When you "flag" someone especially in a large place, it does not mean that they must leave (or can leave, in the case of the boat). It does not stop their "friends" or even their spouse from buying them a drink and taking it to them. Yet the bartender is supposed to be responsible. This was in another state, but I found this insane. The liquor control board actually came in and spoke to us about this one time. Since so much time passed, I really doubt they could have found blood alcohol on this man. No matter what, it is a horrible accident and loss for his family. BUT! Where were his wife and friends that night, and why weren't they looking out for him? Alcohol is a drug, and can kill people. How easily we forget because it is legal. If you are an adult, enjoy it like one, if you can not, leave it alone! As an Adult, take responsibility for yourself! Have a SAFE and Happy Holiday.
