Could be worth something as a testament to Elon’s last gasp maybe, the beginning of the end of Twitter?

Actually the article says this happened in Ontario and they have pretty major liquor liability laws. Hosts of an event (bar, concert, house party, work party) where alcohol is served have a duty of care to guests *until the intoxicated person sobers up*, including not letting them get too wasted, trying to convince intoxicated them not to drive, helping them find a safe way home, and calling 911 if they do try to drive.
So, technically they couldn't literally wrestle the keys from the woman but under Ontario law there is a strong chance they will be seen to have some liability for what she did after leaving the venue.

Hi, I work in Ontario and took the Smart Serve Training for serving alcoholic beverages. Whether or not it's right or reasonable, based on very clearly defined Ontario law, Ovations Ontario Food Services is actually legally liable for these damages and they have almost no defense that could stand in court.
She's gonna win that lawsuit. And the people who served her might even be criminally liable for some of the resulting damage.
(No I don't like it either)

Well remember, Americans have to be micromanaged with seat belt laws, and Kinder Egg Warnings. Because they can't possibly handle life outside the US. They'd won't last a week. And that stupid bitch is gonna put Canada in the same boat. Everything right down the Kinder Egg will have to be liable for something that is Not the company's problem. No one's fault that they can't control themselves but their own. Blaming someone else only leads to needless laws to be made so another incident never happens again. And yes the US did Ban Kinder Eggs (the best ones) because one parent was too lazy to supervise a child and choked. Leaving us with more stupid people to survive and thus creating this nation that we know today.

Yes, it's quite literally a right-wing troll who does it to ridicule trans people. It's on purpose.

They should have asked for her car keys. If she refuses to give them up then they no longer have legal liability. If they didn't ask for her keys they may have some liability.

That would've been theft? I mean you can't go around grabbing other people's car keys off of them just because you think it's the right thing to do, we'd have nobody left on the road

It clearly was too late and perhaps they should have taken her car keys. I really don't know, wasn't there.

I don’t know. I mean, who hasn’t gotten so trashed that they accidentally blew up a house? /s

For Americans -- your state may have Dram Shop laws, which are the same as this Canadian fellow has outlined. I used to bartend in NYC and it was my legal responsibility to cut people off and I could and would be held liable in an overserving situation like this.
