QUESTION 16

What is the policy reason for imposing liability on commercial establishments such as bars to members of the public injured by the conduct of one of their drunken customers?

Bars are liable because the courts impose the doctrine of strict liability on those who serve alcohol.

Bars are liable because they are vicariously liable for their customers.

Bars benefit economically from serving drinks to their patrons and should therefore have a positive obligation to the risks arising from the inebriated conduct of their patrons.

Bars should be completely responsible even though the risks to the public are not reasonably foreseeable, because bars can reduce their liability by purchasing insurance.
