It takes a lot of guts to blame a bar for getting you drunk.
Ruth Morocco of West Middlesex, Pennsylvania has a lot of guts.
She said she drank in the bar April 23, 2009, into April 24, 2009, fell off her chair, was loud and obnoxious and spilled at least one drink on the bar, all within sight of employees.
She left the bar at about 2 a.m., she said, and crashed her car into a ditch and several trees along New Castle Road.
However, her story doesn’t quite add up according to the bar:
Morocco ordered a drink but the bartender denied the request, the defendants said.
Morocco returned to the tavern about a month later and “boasted to another patron … about how quickly she was healing,” the defendants said.
So instead of blaming the bar for getting you drunk…maybe it’s time to blame yourself for getting drunk at the bar.
