Mr. Hard was also an ex-boyfriend of Debbie 's and the bar feels that the accident was intentional. Mr. Gibbs wants the court to dismiss the case based on summary judgment which is “a judgment requested by any party to a civil action to end the action when it is believed that there is no genuine issue or material fact in dispute” (Mosby’s Dictionary). Morally based, the tavern should not be responsible of the individual at hand due to the person 's free …show more content…
The bible gives us many examples on alcohol and how can having a drink affects your brain and ability to make correct decisions. “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise” (Proverbs 20:1 KJV). Throughout reading the bible we find many verses about how drinking wine or alcohol affects your vision and perception. Also, throughout the whole bible God recommends us not to consume it. One important thing we must keep in mind is that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and we must watch what we put in it. “What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body , and in your spirit , which are God’s” ( 1Corinthians 6:19-20

    Assignment I- Case Brief: McCarty v. Pheasant Run , Inc.

    Ultimately, the court did not see it Mrs. McCarty’s way. McCarty argued the judge should have granted her motion for judgment notwithstanding the jury’s verdict for the defendant. McCarty did not request the directed verdict on the issue of Pheasant Runs negligence which is a prerequisite to judgment n.o.v. Many accidents are neither the injurer nor the victims fault and therefore there is no liability. The judge advised Mrs. McCarty that the case was not as one sided as she believed it to be. Additionally, following a jury’s verdict, a judge cannot substitute its judgment when the judgment was reasonable (2). Mrs. McCarty did a poor job in proving that Pheasant Run could have prevented her attack with her advised precautions. Mrs. McCarty did not provide information of what it would cost Pheasant Run to equip the hotel rooms with improved locking systems…

The issue at hand is whether liability arises from two entirely separate sources of duty with the same set of facts. It can. Those who make promises should be held to account from those promises, whether or not someone had a beer to drink.…

    Does Alcohol Causes Intoxication

    Alcohol is a drug found in beer, wine, and liquor that causes intoxication. Alcohol can impair a person’s physical and emotional state. Intoxication is the physical and mental changes produced by drinking alcohol (Friedman, Stine, and Whaten 2242). Some people believe that beer and wine are safer than liquor which leads them to believe that it is okay to drink. The truth is that one 12 ounce bottle of beer or a 5 ounce glass of wine is equal to the amount of alcohol in a 1.5 ounce shot or liquor and can cause the same effects (“Facts About Alcohol”). Short term effects of alcohol include nausea, vomiting, dehydration, coma, death, blackout, memory loss, poor vision, reduced reaction time, and loss of judgement along with self control (Friedman,…

    Alcoholism In Christianity

    There are many scriptures in the Bible where wine was given to people for consumption. One of those occasions was in John 2: 1-11(King James Version) a wedding where Jesus turned water into wine. There was no way to purify the water to rid it from bacteria so water was turned into wine. In Psalm104:15, it advises to give wine to gladden the heart of man, oil to make his face shine, and bread to strengthen a man’s heart. In Amos 9:14, it states, they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. If it was a sin to consume alcoholic beverages I don’t think the Bible would contain so many instances where wine was offered or advised. However, the Bible does warn us against…
