Bar should be held responsible for death of underage drinker
An Orange County, Florida sports bar is under investigation for serving a teenager alcohol before he lost control of his car and died. The teen’s family believes the bar should be held responsible if the allegations are true, and I agree.
Unfortunately, this is an all too familiar story. Many times, businesses that sell alcohol put profits ahead of protecting minors and the public from the consequences of underage drinking. Florida’s legislature has gone to great lengths in recent years to make it more difficult to hold these businesses responsible. That needs to change.
