Boorishness on Amtrak Intercity Trains

Since alcohol regulations depend on the jurisdiction in which the train is travelling, my hunch would be that California has some pretty strict "dram shop laws," which forbid a barkeep's giving an obviously inebriated passenger that "just one more." Our guy had not only the ability to hold his liquor, but also no car to crash. <br /> <br />Nonetheless, if he committed most any kind of illegal grievance, started a fight, fell on someone, fell off the train, whatever, the road (Amtrak, I suppose) would be "deep pockets" liable because the guy selling beers is only acting as their agent. [:(] <br /> <br />Many years ago, the Southwest Chief was raided in Kansas and the bar shut down because the county thru which the train was passing was dry!! <br />
