[Mee-n-Mac]

Like pretty much like everyone else so far, I also see this lawsuit as less than meritorious. Regardless of what the law says or what it's intent is/was ... this case certainly isn't a poster child for it. Man drinks to excess (if true) and doesn't harm any innocent 3'rd party ... bad circumstances for a lawsuit of any kind.

I remember when such laws began a trend and they had some legislators play the role of bartender and try to figure out who was impaired or not. Not surprisingly they didn't do to well as quiet drunks were never "caught" and boisterous sober people were. Nice thing to have, unrealizable laws. So who is to say that Mr Sylvestre wasn't a quiet drunk (if drunk).


Probably the only certain thing is that the Mount will become more restrictive as a result of this lawsuit ("will that be a Lite or a Light beer sir ?") no matter how it goes and we'll all take yet another step towards the great nanny state that apparently some people want.
