I love drinking lots of beer but should I sue the brewery for getting me drunk?

Question

Smokers who got smoking diseases can sue cigarette companies so why not me having a crazy idea to get money in this mad world?

Answer 1

...lol.....you people are the best. Did you read the quetsion that you asked?....lol....

Answer 2

Because 40+ years ago, noone knew the risks of smoking, and afterward, tobacco companies consistantly denied any knowledge of intentionally making them addicting, adding cancerous materials, etc, up until about 30 years ago, when slowly, the truth about the dangers of cigarettes started becoming apparent. Hence, people have the right to sue (however, only in the generations before all the research. Afterwards, it's your own fault for starting despite the blantant label on the side).

However, alcoholic drinks have been around since the dawn of time, and even then, people knew you could get drunk, and wise men spoke against drinking in excess. So, if you really want to sue for something that's been common knowledge for at least 5000 years, good luck to you, 'cuz I really doubt you'll get anywhere with that.

Answer 3

Something on those lines explained below....

A Charlotte NC lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars then insured them against fire among other things. Within a month having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet having made even his first premium payment on the policy, the lawyer filed a claim against the insurance company. In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost "in a series of small fires."

The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason, that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion. The lawyer sued and won! In delivering the ruling the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous, however; the judge stated that the lawyer held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be "unacceptable fire," and was obligated to pay the claim. Rather than endure a lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000.00 to the lawyer for his loss of the rare cigars lost in the "fires."

NOW FOR THE BEST PART. After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of ARSON!!!! With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being used against him, the lawyer was convicted of intentionally burning his insured property and sentenced him to 24 months in jail and a $24,000.00 fine. This is a true story and was the 1st place winner in the recent Criminal Lawyers Award Contest.

Answer 4

why not a lady spilled hot coffee on herself at a drive thru at mcdonalds and won millions because she said she didnt know it was hot. smokers, wich unfortunatly i do smoke, have won cases because they didnt know any better either. so why not sue the beer companys. we dont know anybetter when we are drunk right? and i agree with ol girl that said look at the situations i got into because of beer. go for it and if you win the case i will drink a beer in honor of your victory over the beer companys

Answer 5

Go for it.

They are responsible for your kidney failure just like any drugs or cigarettes will cause.

But I don't think you'll see a dime. They have fought successfully in that drunk driving is not the responsibilty of the people who made it or sell it, it's the guy who drink and drive that bears the responsibility. They spend millions on each case just to fight off every lunatic who dares to file a lawsuit.

Answer 6

Try some self control or check yourself into rehab. Beer does taste quite nasty plus it rots your liver. Self inflicted injuries are your own responsiblity! If i had my way ALL dangerous recreational drugs would be banned and the hypocrispy of some still being legal while most others are not would end!

Answer 7

Yes, let's get that going cos they'd probably owe me millions the times that I've been drunk and what about all the situations I got myself in while I was drunk, another few million there too, good idea!! It's all their fault.......

Answer 8

of course not! , its based on personal responsibility my friend. people will end up laughing at you if you do such a thing. Nobody asked u to start drinking beer anyway. You chose it so you bare the consequences
