https://www.washingtoninjurylaw.com/can-bartenders-be-liable-for-a-patrons-dui-in-washington/ https://www.washingtoninjurylaw.com/can-bartenders-be-liable... > The drunk driver can sue the bar or bartender for allowing them to become intoxicated to a dangerous level. Individuals may file a lawsuit, but this does not always mean it will hold up in court. Dram shop laws in most states make clear definitions to avoid false liability. Washington is one of those states. It looks like it's more the case that the drunk driver tries to sue the bar, not that the government is pursuing the bar. Furthermore, some States specifically forbid attempts to hold the bar liable for drunk drivers. And even if it were, it's vastly easier for a bar to monitor the conduct of patrons than a web service. The scale of the latter is too great to make non-automated moderation feasible.
