Facts:

Better Bean Quantifiers LLP ("BBQ") is an accounting firm in Vancouver. In December of 2019, BBQ decided to throw a giant Christmas party at their offices. Food was served and BBQ paid for an open bar, where employees could drink as much alcohol as they liked, without charge. On the night of the party, Frankie, one of BBQ's junior accountants, became particularly intoxicated. When the party concluded at 4:30 am, everyone headed home. Most of the employees had pre-arranged for a taxi to take them home or have a friend or family member pick them up. However, Frankie, who had not planned to drink very much at the party, did not arrange for a taxi. Samantha, one of the senior partners at BBQ, noticed Frankie stumbling towards his car in the parking lot, and asked him if he felt comfortable driving home. Frankie replied, "Um.... yes, um...... no problem.....ummm.... I got this!" Because the roads were quiet (it was 4:30 am), and Samantha knew that Frankie lived only 2 kilometres from the office, Samantha decided not to provoke Frankie, so she hopped in a taxi to get home. Samantha was extremely tired herself, and just wanted to get home and go to bed! Frankie was well over the legal alcohol limit to drive. On the drive home, Frankie swerved into the oncoming lane of traffic and was involved in a head-on collision with another driver, Alice. Alice suffered very serious injuries and was rendered a quadriplegic. Frankie was 100% responsible for the accident - Frankie's swerving actions were so quick that there was nothing that Alice, or anyone in her position, could have done to avoid the accident. Alice brought a negligence claim against Frankie, but BBQ was also named in the lawsuit, as Alice alleged that BBQ was also negligent on the night of the accident. The damages claimed by Alice are all of the normal and well-accepted damages that someone involved in a similar accident can obtain. (Hint: the types of damages suffered by Alice are not an issue in this assignment)

Question:

BBQ's lawyers learn an interesting fact in the course of the lawsuit: Alice was also intoxicated (over the legal limit) at the time of the accident. What impact does this fact have on Alice's negligence claim against BBQ?
