Involuntary Lack of Personal Responsibility

So, Josh Hancock's father is suing the restaurant where his son got drunk past the legal limit after drinking alcoholic drinks that he ordered, making the assertion that his son was under "involuntary intoxication". Go look that up. I'll wait.

Back? Yeah. That basically is a defense you can use if you drink punch out of the punchbowl at a party, believing it to be regular punch, but it was secretly spiked with alcohol. Or, say, if someone slips you a downer in a drink, and you don't realize you've ingested anything.

If someone keeps filling your glass in a bar and you drink the shit, it's your fricking fault if you drink it. If you don't want more beer, don't drain the glass. My dad didn't like to drink, but he was frequently at parties where people kept trying to buy him a drink. He'd order a drink when he got there and just carry it around, then set down the full glass on his way out. It kept people from offering to get him something, and he didn't have to drink or explain why he didn't want to.

Is the dad going to sue the cell phone company for not telling him not to talk on his phone when his drunk ass was driving way over the speed limit and he's not belted in or looking where he's going? He's suing everyone else: the manager of the bar, the tow truck driver, and the owner of the car the tow truck driver was there to help. When lots and lots of other cars saw the big flashing lights of the tow truck because they weren't drunk off their asses and weren't speeding out of control while distracted talking on a phone. You better watch where your car breaks down, because if a professional athlete drives his car into it, you're going to go bankrupt trying to defend yourself.

It's everybody's fault but the guy who drank the alcohol and drove his car without any regard for his safety or anyone else's. You asses. I don't feel bad for you at all anymore. You are now the least sympathetic people in this whole debacle.
