According to a former FDNY Lieutenant, he received more than what he paid for when attending a Yankee game this past May with his son.   When the former Lieutenant objected to a man sitting in his son's seat, the man and his brother, allegedly grabbed him in a chokehold and beat him down to the ground.  

A law suit was filed for personal injuries in Supreme Court against the Yankees, claiming that the assailants were both intoxicated and that they were served alcoholic drinks notwithstanding.  

This case demonstrates the serious nature of serving alcohol to an intoxicated party.  Whether you are a bartender or a homeowner hosting a party, alcohol must not only be consumed responsibly but served responsibly as well.  To do otherwise is to risk potential liability for any causally related injuries and damages.
