Show June HILL TOP TIMES 18, 1976 Page Refuse To Serve Customer 7 The "Dram Shop" Theory By Bob Reed ARC Office of Information Be warned: That bartender had no choice. Air Force When do outraged innocence and bruised dignity blaze their Regulation is quite clear: "Bylaws of the open mess will include a rule prohibiting the serving of alcoholic beverages to any member, dependent, or guest that appears to be intoxicated and not in complete control of his or her faculties." brightest? Easy. When the intoxicated guy in an NCO or Officers'' Club who has ordered "one more for the road" has been told by the bartender, "Sorry. No more, I think you've had enough." From the inevitable reaction, you'd think that the LEGAL DUTY What brought this up is the skinker (bartender) had just cast unspeakably loathsome aspersions on the mother, wife and children. He's cut to the quick. over-imbiber- 215-- 1 increasing number of costly lawsuits the Air Force is facing these days under the "Dram Shop" theory, in some states. operative 's Outdated Wills Deal Blows; Results Harsh For Heirs Few people would take an action today on the basis of a decision they made five years ago. Yet, says a survey, more than of all wills are at least that old when they go into effect. As far as the court knows, the testator's will is his last word." will can be harsh. A The consequences of an from his widower, estranged daughter, made a will leaving Soon son. to his after, he and the daughter joyfully everything of affection. renewed the bonds But his will lay untouched in a desk drawer. At his death, the beloved daughter got nothing. or divorce, births To some extent, specific events-marria- ge deaths-may or automatically alter the operation of a will. But most of the events of life have no effect at all. Suppose a spouse becomes an invalid. Or a scatterbrained adult. Or a simple teenager matures into a serious, into a blossoms complex enterprise. Or a new family business tax law offers an opportunity to save money. Or a family shifts its loyalties from one charity to another. Any of these developments could call for a fresh look at an existing will. If the testator doesn't take them into account, the court won't either. One woman , worth $100,000 in her own name, foresaw trouble between her husband and her children in the event of her death. Hoping to keep peace, she drew up a will giving $25,000 to him and the balance to the children. But by the time she died, her assets had shrunk to $25,000. Bound by the will, the court reluctantly awarded to the husband. everything one-thir- d out-of-dat- e self-relia- out-of-da- nt te c Pending suits total over a million dollars. Legally, a patron is liable for his own negligent acts, of course. But under the "Dram Shop" theory of liability, created either by statute or court decision, the liability doesn't end there. The owner or an of operator establishment serving alcoholic beverages has the to refuse to serve a duty customer, who in his judgment, has already had too much to drink. If he doesn't say "no" and the customer owner or operator, or the establishment itself, can be held liable for damages. FRIENDSHIP PAYS Which calls for a timely reminder: In the Air Force, the clubs are run on nonappropriated funds. Since all claim settlements must be paid from them, in the case of a sizeable judgment against it, a club could easily be wiped out. But above and beyond Air Force "regs" and money, a real friend is the guy who steps in, takes his inebriated pal away from the bar, and sees that he reaches home So it - heaven forbid - this ever happens to someone you know, be that real friend; take care of the temporarily but extremely by seeing that helpless dangerous-o- ne he reaches home safely. You - never can tell someday he might be in a position to do you the same favor. life-savi- (LOGNEW& Press Service) ng from ATC I, z & 5978 So. 1900 w.
