Just remember this when you have a party in New Jersey.  DO NOT
be the one who serves the booze.  Let each person serve themselves.
This was the court decision as printed in the newspapers last night.
If a person is serving themselves, the host is no longer liable.

If you think that's weird, the Garden State Arts Center has just
banned liqour from its grounds.  Many people used to bring wine 
and cheese and such and have a little picnic on the grass before
concerts.  Now it is banned.  HOWEVER, the Arts Center is sponsering
a cocktail party, on the grounds, before the Sinatra concert.  The
cost is $200.00 a head.  How in hell can they ban booze for the
masses and still allow the upper crust to toss it down?  What
happens when Mr. and Mrs. Elricho Moneybags get snockered at this
event, get screwed up leaving the place, and smack head on into
some poor soul on the Parkway?  Who is liable then?  The Center,
the poor kid they hired to serve cocktails, or Sinatra?
This is the kind of thing that burns me up.  The double standard.
