The mother of a 22-year-old man from Burk's Falls, Ont., is speaking out less than two years after his death in a car crash after leaving a Kelsey's restaurant where the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario says he was over-served alcohol.
“We heard that he had been served 18 ounces. We don't drink, so we didn't have any clue what that meant. So when we came home, we poured out a bunch of glasses, and it was probably the hardest point we had as a family to look at that,” said Colton Orr's mother, Tina Moore.
The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) alleges staff at the Huntsville restaurant served him 18 shots of liquor in under four hours.
“During that period, the customer showed increasing signs of intoxication, yet staff continued serving alcohol to the customer until closing time,” according to a statement by the AGCO.
The commission says the customer drove away after last call and crashed their car “within minutes.”
I hope everyone working that night is charged to the fullest extent of the law for their actions.
Oh fuck off. Man wanted to drink, they gave him drink. What he did afterwards was entirely on him.
The AGCO was seeking a 60-day liquor licence suspension but reached a settlement with Kelsey's in which the establishment will serve a 45-day liquor sales licence suspension starting March 18.
JFC, they're waiting until after St Patricks Day where the bar will make BANK.
FUCK KELSEYS.
Based.
I have more sympathy for some bartender trying to make ends meat than I do for someone who willingly drank and got into the car and drove.
I'm not happy he is dead. Far from it. I have sympathy for him and his family. But this was his own fault.
I do not. Not when making ends meet leads to someone dying. The law says the server and establishment are also at fault.
Who gives a fuck what the law says? This is entirely on him and his retard parent who never taught their son to responsibly enjoy his drink.
If the poor just-making-ends-meet bartender hadn't overserved the patron, the patron wouldn't be dead today.
Literally no such thing as overserving. Does not exist. Entirely made up.
We would like to acknowledge that this hole is established on the traditional and vibrantly coloured land of Don Cherry. We recognize the many years of service and garishly coloured joy he has brought us here on Turtle Island. May we continue to celebrate the spirit of Don Cherry's land with respect and appreciation.
Nous tenons à reconnaître que ce trou est établi sur le terrain traditionnel et aux couleurs vives de Don Cherry. Nous reconnaissons les nombreuses années de service et la joie aux couleurs criardes qu'il nous a apportées ici sur l'Île de la Tortue. Puissions-nous continuer à célébrer l'esprit de la terre de Don Cherry avec respect et appréciation.
