DaDakota gives rides? An interesting service they have in Seoul is that you can call a company and they will send a driver to drive your car home with you in it. They then pick up their driver. This is obviously good for those folks who don't want to go back to pick up their car and one less reason to drive drunk.
That is a freaking great idea for a car service... 'TakeYoDrunkAssHome service, we provide the designated driver while you drink till you puked, not covered by state farm insurance, lolololol.....
They actually already have something like that in Houston, its called BeMyDD.com or something. I applied for a job there, but I realized why would I want to work on Friday and Saturday Nights.
I have a buddy who worked there for a short time. He quit because he didn't like driving drunk people around who don't have filters. He came to this decision after a recent run to Midtown in which he picked up a particularly verbally-abusive lunatic who had just been stabbed in the neck. He kept rambling on and on incoherently about doctors and lake houses and Facebook or something to that effect. The final straw was when he threatened to change his kid's name.
His speed also seems to keep popping up; not that it matters all that much once your up there, but the new chron article now says up to 140 mph...
So, the bar is saying he seemed fine but how much alcohol did they actually serve him? Either he drank all his alcohol at the bar or he didn't. The bar better hope he didn't drink it all there.

It's been awhile since I was certified to serve alcohol, but you're not supposed serve the customer to the point where they get legally drunk. You're supposed to keep track of what they've drunk and how long they've been there and stop serving them if they've had too much, especially if they're showing signs of being intoxicated. Easier to do as a waiter than as a bartender. I know it seems odd that drinking establishments aren't supposed to let their customers get drunk, but that's the law as far as I can remember. At least in Texas, could be different elsewhere. And I remember being told to look the other way when I told a manager a couple had been drinking more than what we were supposed to allow. I'm sure that's common. Anyway, what I think Surfguy is getting at is that the bar can be held liable to some degree, especially if he did all his drinking in the bar and didn't come in already having been drinking somewhere else. So the bar can be sued if it's determined that they played a role in Dunn's death by allowing him to get as intoxicated as he did.
