Wouldn't surprise me if he won. Hell my next-door neighbor gets disability just for being an alcoholic. Wouldn't be so bad if she didn't lay around the house and call the freakin' Dog Warden on us while we're both out WORKING because she doesn't like to hear our dogs bark. Boo-freakin' hoo !

well... in a sick way.... "brain damage" is right
cos he actually thinks he deserves this for not controlling his own drinking habits

"waaah they served me alcohol when i was drunk"

um hellooooo you're a fucking adult. act like one

More south Florida news, even though over by Naples.

I bet the hotel will settle, thus rewarding the bad behavior.

I'll bite my tongue on this one, it would lead to fratching.

Nope - today's society - blame everyone else for your problems, they're not your own fault.

I hope the judge this drunkard gets dismisses his case. Whatever happened to being held accountable for your own actions?!

Isn't it illegal over there to serve alcohol to "intoxicated persons"? It sure is here, and yes, the bartender would be going down big time, and the bar with him.

Technically, they're only allowed to sell you the first drink and after that they have to wait until you're completely sober again (taking the letter of the law to its illogical conclusion).
