Bottom line. When you become a Bartender/Cocktail server you take on
the responsibility of looking out for people who cannot look out for
themselves when they drink. The bar is going to loose it's license because it
over served someone who commited manslaughter not because they served a minor.
This is a good reminder for all of us "Pay Attention" That is what
makes you a good bartender rather than just a drink pourer.
