" To GV-The car/car owner carry the insurance... anyone stupid enough to let someone drunk drive their car deserves, at least,half the responsibility..
And the, "if he didn't have a car" comment...well he didn't, he had some else's car... "

" Well said gv. Hopefully the bar owners will not be held responsible. Can anyone prove that the driver didn't slam a few drinks in his vehicle as he was driving? Was his alcohol level done as he left the bar? Is it possible that between the time he left the bar and the time of the accident he consumed more alcohol, thus pushing him over the limit? The drunk driver is the only entity that should be punished. "

" Wow! The person driving is the only person that needs to be punished or sued. Some "obviously" drunk people aren't really drunk and some "obviously" sober people don't need another drink. The bar is in the business of selling alcohol and they should be able to sell it. The driver needs to take full responsibility for his actions. Next thing you know, we'll be filing suit against restaurants that server "obviously" fat people hamburgers. People make choices and should be held accountable for them. Maybe sue the auto maker too? If he didn't have a car, none of this would have happened. WAKE UP!! "

" Maybe sitiuations like this will stop agencies from serving alcolhol at fundraisers so that "donors are more apt to give more!". That attitude has always bothered me. And I often wonder what would happen if someone did get into an accident on the way home. "

" The drunk should still be in jail, sounds like he don't have a pot to pee in or a window to throw it out of. The bar owner is partially responsible and needs to be sued out of existence. The DUI laws are so ridiculous what a police officer has to do when a drunk is arrested. If a driver is suspected of being drunk, he should be required to take the breath test and if he refuses, their drivers license should be suspended for 10 years, the vehicle seized and mandatory jail time.
The first DUI should be 364 days in jail and any more within 10 years a felony and a minimum of 3 years in the big house. "

" It's hard to believe that with grammer and spelling like "woohoo"'s, he's allowed to vote! What is "aggreeance"??! "

" I am glad that this is FINALLY happening I am in full agreeance with the young man IT IS the bars responsibility you are not susposed to serve an intoxicated person alcohol. It's all about the Benjamins for the bar not moral responsibilty not its time to pay the piper! "

" I think people should be responsible for themselves and stop blaming everyone else.. The driver was drunk not the bar owner....When do people grow up? If you can't act responsibly maybe you shouldn't expect the bar or business to be your babysitter. "

" We need a Dram Shack law in Idaho such as the ones in Arizona and Colorado where the bar owners are responsible. Normally I am not in favor of creating more laws but this is another time where bartenders don't take responsibility. The law would also make it illegal for them to drink on duty and they would get personal fines as well. This makes them less interested in pushing the booze and more interested in taking responsibility for their actions. I don't like it when police troll the parking lots for those who drink and if more responsibility was exercised inside the bar maybe they wouldn't. I know that in Colorado this law dramatically brought the number of alcohol elated crashes way down and it was first noticed on the mountainous roads around Golden and Central City. "

" I totally agree that the drivers' and the bar owners' should both be responsible, why should it all fall on the victim's shoulders? He did nothing wrong. "
