Firestormalpha- You're correct, in that it WOULD be the "factor" that would give SOME people the idea to mix a cocktail right in the parking lot. That doesn't prevent them from making other arrangements for cups & ice though. The fact is, it's THEIR decision, regardless of the location of cups & ice.

Sever- I tend to agree with you on cracking one on the way home (unless you have a really long drive [img]smile.gif[/img] ). The vast majority of folks know their limits & are reasonably intelligent. I disagree with any culpability on the store's behalf, even if they have mixed drinks for free at the door on the way out. It is YOUR decision to take a sip...
Now, if they tied you down when you walked into the store, and FORCED you at gunpoint to take a drink...well that's a different story.
It's called PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY.
