8 men fined after friend drinks himself to death

In the US you can sue the bar that sells you too many drinks if you go out and kill yourself driving after drinking them... so the US law is pretty clear on this kinda' BS.
Personally, I think it is stupid. You are an adult, your actions are your own.

An innocent third party killed by the drunk can sue the bar. Big difference. A bar that continues serving one so obviously drunk is negligent - participated in killing other third parties. The drunk does not sue. The drunk is not a victim.

If you kill yourself, how can you sue? My emphasis.
