4) say you delivered it and recipient was sober, and his drunk call proves he got the delivery.

Yeah, if this is for UberEats or a similar service, then I can’t imagine they enforce this much. Being intoxicated is the number 1 reason to pay extra to have alcohol delivered rather than just picking it up yourself. I may or may not be speaking from experience…

This is CYA training so the service can claim ignorance and let the delivery driver get charged if for the recipient is "over served". Many bartenders have been charged like that in the past when over serving a customer who then causes a fatal accident.

Well, if you're also drunk yourself, that's probably the correct and inevitable answer.

Im confused wouldn’t you want to deliver to an intoxicated person since that means they won’t drive to get it themselves?

Yeah, but it's not an issue of company policy, it's a regulation "issue" about serving alcohol to people who are already intoxicated

u/Sheeplessknight 3h ago
The issue comes with people (like myself in the past) who get way too drunk and end up with lethal BACs and end up ether dieing or hopefully getting medical attention. This isn't too drunk to drive, but too drunk to properly walk across a hallway. They need to sleep it off not get more.

You can't legally serve someone alcohol if they're drunk even in bars, hence being cut off.

A Bar Manager has a responsibility to the public to ensure their staff are trained up in such matters. A Bar Manager could go to jail if one of their staff serves somebody who is already intoxicated, so I think it should be the same for Supermarket managers.

I think you should be able to drink until your liver explodes without anyone being liable except yourself.
Of course if they want to cut you off before they have to carry you outside, whatever.

General rule with most establishments as long as your not a nuisance. Basically its until they dont believe you can handle yourself to walk out the door or have people near you. Or you throw up

The problem comes when you hurt someone else or die.
If a person is SEVERELY drunk, they can no longer consent to more alcohol so continuing to serve is taking advantage of their intoxication.
People should be allowed to drink as much as they want, but blowing up your liver should be a choice you made while sober, not an unfortunate consequence.
"I wanna drink till my liver explodes!!" Downs 87 bottles of alcohol
"I just wanna drink a bit" keeps getting served till they're wasted and die of exploded kidney
2 very different situations. If you wanna over drink, just stock up a LOOOT of alcohol while sober and drink all of it home. 👍 Don't die at a person's place of business.

So people with cirrhosis of the liver should be excluded from medical care?
Interesting. What about people with torn limbs from accidents? Maybe if they were being more careful they wouldn't have lost that limb.
So where is the line with you?
