Bartenders don't need to keep serving when they know they probably shouldn't
But...there is this thing called personal accountability. 26 years old, this guy was a grown man who should have known his limit. Hell, he was even a bouncer at one point. It's sad, but it's his own fault and no one else's.

.Why is this in the news? This sort of thing happens every weekend with college students. It's very sad, but this is unlike other Mindsay news stories and it seems strange that it is here. It seems like this is more of something that should be in someone's personal blog.
.But no, I don't think it's up to the bartender. And no, I don't think it's just about money with them--the bartender doesn't usually own the bar. It's most definitely up to the individual. And if the individual makes such a choice, it's up to the individual's peers. The bartender is just providing what was asked.
The bartender is not the owner, but the owner usually runs the bar, and if he's not the one running, the one who does run it runs it for the owner. And yes it is about money. I think most bar owners and employees need to be more responsible about this stuff. Their job is not taking seriously enough.
But I often wonder how hard it would be to keep track of how much everyone is drinking. But I would think 25 shots in 30 min, would be easy to keep track of. And I would think that much in a short period of time would be cut off sooner.
There's no limit to how much liquor a bar can serve because bartenders are trusted to make that call. Enough is enough. Obviously, a bartender is going to make a very different decision on the cutoff point for a very large man and very small man.
But when this happens, it just proves that bartenders can't be trusted. And that's because money was at stake.

i don't really think it's the bartender's job to babysit the drunkards at their bar.
also.... if he was a bartender before, and obviously knew that that amount of alcohol would kill him, then he either lost count, or intended to drink himself to death.
what's more... they shouldn't blame the bartender, who has to watch over the whole damn bar, as much as his friends, who only had to watch over each other.
so, in conclusion... not bartender's fault or problem.
As far as "babysitting" goes, I was a bartender before and I cared much more about how that person was going to make it home that night as opposed to how many tips I was going to get for a hundred dollar tab.
Where I worked, when I started the boss let me know it was my job to make sure the bar was safe. This was one of my duties, so being that I was around it before I do see it as the bartenders job to watch the patrons. So maybe it isn't the bartenders fault, but perhaps it is the manager's or owner's fault. Granted it is hard to watch a lot of people, but when someone comes back for their seventh shot, their face gets pretty familiar. I guess this hit me a bit harder since I've been around it and know it can be prevented.

It's good to know that there are owners and employees who do care about the safety of it's customers.
amen cas!! when i was tending it was the same for me and the owners too!
That's excellent. I was hoping I wasn't the only one who thought like that...
