Your last sentence is the part that gets me the most- you don't have to be sloppy and slurring drunk to be dangerous behind the wheel of a car. Frankly, if legislators want to prosecute bartenders for over serving patrons and hold them accountable for whatever the patrons go on to do in their drunken state, they should just ban alcohol outright. I can't think of any other scenario in which we hold someone legally accountable for another adult's consensual actions outside of committing a crime.

I know the laws exist, but I never could get behind the idea that the bartender is somehow responsible for the patrons drunken actions

The problem with essays for a lot of folks isn't knowing the material, it's adding fluff that sounds nice to get you to your word/page minimum. You can very easily add in the meat of what you want to talk about and have Chatgpt add in the filler to make it "flow", it's amazing for that. Then edit to make it sound better, and voila!

I'll never understand why academic writing poo-poos brevity. I love that a tool exists to rid yourself of the pointless busy work of an essay by writing the truth and asking a machine to expand it
