It turns out that this is already the law of the land:
Actually, in NYC if you’re a bartender and knowingly over-serve to someone, you *ARE* liable for things they do after they leave the bar, because you knowingly put them at risk for $.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) March 12, 2019
Its called the Dram Shop Act. It’s a big reason why bartenders cut people off. And it works. https://t.co/u2XMRuNOyb
It's a legitimate question: Why is a bartender held to a higher liability for their work than the head of Wells-Fargo?
As Henry Farrell observes, this is a strength of AOC, that her, "Retorical style is that it often starts from the fact that non-professional classes know stuff and then builds up - a strong implicit contrast both to common liberal condescension and conservative cult of know-nothing-ism."
I so want to vote for her to be President in 2024.
