As the saying goes, "When people sit at home, the pot comes from the sky", which is perfect for the owner of a restaurant in Pingjiang County, Hunan Province.

After the accident, Zhong's parents filed a lawsuit in Pingjiang County People's Court, suing the diner at the same table and the owner of the restaurant, claiming 511,111 yuan and claiming joint and several liability.

the Pingjiang court held in the first instance that Zhong, the deceased in this case, was seriously at fault, and at the same time, legally speaking, the drinker and the hostess were sitting on the wine table together, which actually formed a civil legal relationship, that is, the obligation to remind others. The defendant's restaurant owner, though he didn't provide liquor, also warned "Don't get drunk" during drinking, but as an operator, he still failed to fulfill his security obligations and should bear tort liability according to the relevant provisions of the Tort Liability Law of the People's Republic of China.

Finally, the court decided that the deceased Zhong should bear 81% of the civil liability; Defendants who drink at the same table each bear 6% civil liability; The defendant Zhou, as a deskmate, bears 1% civil liability; Defendant Wang's restaurant owner, as the operator, bears 1% civil liability.

After the judgment of the first instance, Zhong's parents appealed, claiming that the first instance improperly divided the responsibilities. After trial, the court of second instance held that the division of civil liabilities of all parties in the first instance was more appropriate, and the appeal grounds could not be established and were not supported. In the final judgment of the court of second instance, the restaurant had to pay 9287.18 yuan.

The profit of drinks has always been a big part of restaurant management. Generally, catering bosses very much hope that customers will consume more drinks in restaurants. However, catering bosses should also pay attention to the health hazards that excessive drinking may cause to customers. For example, in the case, even if the drinks were brought by the deceased, and the catering boss also warned not to drink too much, the restaurant still paid a large amount of compensation for this. If this wine comes from the restaurant and the catering boss doesn't remind it, the restaurant will suffer more losses than that.
