I'd be willing to support a law allowing judges to apply their gavels directly to the plaintiff's skull, as punishment for filing frivolous lawsuits like this.

The judge found Susan voluntarily signed up for the date game of sex, and couldn't charge Wicked Willy with rape the next day. The judge said Susan "consumed alcohol to the point of diminished capacity"
Susan claimed Willy should have been monitoring the date to make sure Susan wasn't getting visibly drunk.
Later on, Susan when to a rally at her college where she held up a placard,
"Women demand equal rights - stop patronizing women - down with patriarchy - we can make our own decisions, thank you"

If I'm not mistaken, lawyers swear not to waste the courts time with frivolous lawsuits when they join the bar.

wow, a judge in the USA sides with personal responsibility
surely this sensible judgment must be reversed.

Isn't the point of beer pong to get drunk? I don't know anybody that has played it for any other reason, much less played 3-1/2 hours of it.

"It's unpleasantly like being drunk."
"What's so unpleasant about being drunk?"
"You ask a glass of water."

I want to play that. I don't even drink, I want to play that.
Oh and the asshat should probably have monitored himself to make sure he wasn't getting too drunk. Gotta love the American way of foisting responsibility on the other guy.

In this case, you'd hear nothing but a farking echo. Apparently the plaintiff's one neuron passed away from loneliness decades ago.

Plaintiff is prolly the brother of the kid from last week's story who is suing his fraternity, after falling off a deck when some other rocket scientist lit off a bottle rocket from his own anus, startling him.

This reminds me of the time a coworker was on a business trip in Germany. He went out to a few bars and drank until he passed out on the street trying to get back to his hotel. When in trouble for his behavior back at the office, he essentially tried to blame the entire country of Germany saying this never happened to him before, therefore it must have been something in German beer.

I'm glad that it was sided with the bar in this case - but responsibility for getting drunk rests with the bar. It's just like how it's illegal to serve a patron that's visibly drunk, and the bar could be held liable. In this case, the bar is hosting a game where the object is drink when losing. It's inevitable that people will be heavily consuming alcohol. If a bar hosted a 21-shot salute party, wouldn't they have the understanding that patrons will be getting excessively drunk? Granted, the dude needed to make his own plans home and should expect to be drunk. I play South Jersey Pong weekly by me. It's a water-pong tournament, but you're expected to be buying beers to fund the prize at the end.
/Hate beer pong because I'm always sober throughout the whole game.

I agree with the consensus in this thread but it would have been mice if the judge could have found a way to find Wicked Willy's guilty of being Wicked Willy's. Horrible, awful place. A pirate-themed bar that doesn't know when it's Talk Like a Pirate day and doesn't have good run drinks.

I plan on having this at my next get-together at my place. I'm trying to rig together a table with a partition down the center of it, and its going to have a drawn-on table cloth to make the grid. Not sure what I'll use as the actual "boats"
