The law does not care if you agree. Unless changed, it is what it is.

I do not disagree with most of what you state about alcohol, but folks do not magically become drunk upon entering an establishment. She had to have been plastered for some time before she took a header off the stool. A bummer re her current state, but she made the decision to start drinking and the barkeep kept serving her for some time before she became a jellyfish.

This maybe true. When was the last time you went to a social event where alcohol was not prominently displayed/served?

A bar has certain responsibilities. Some of those are by law, others under its licensure and others under its liability policy. These types of cases have been litigated for at least 35 years. When cases have not been settled, the courts have been clear as to the establishment's responsibilities.

This women did not suddenly become drunk. And, given the place and her age, the bar likely knew of her habits.
