Doldur bak efkarlandım yine bu gece... meyhaneci Olmak Kolay Bir İş Değil

It isn't easy being a bartender. You must memorize many drink recipes. You must sometimes be a therapist, or sometimes a diplomat. And lately, there have been bartenders who played the role of "rescuer." They "rescued" women at the bar they felt were in trouble. A guy was ordering too many drinks for her. The bartender "rescued" the woman by serving her drinks that didn't contain alcohol. This makes one think... what kind of legal issues do bartenders face in serving drinks?

Some readers might recognize the line above, "Doldur bak efkarlandım yine bu gece." Where have you heard those words before? We'll see later. When a guest says, "doldur bak," it's legally the bartender's responsibility not to serve someone who is visibly drunk. The bartender is supposed to read the "signs" in someone's speech, eyes, and general behavior. Another important legal issue is that a bartender cannot serve underage guests.

What if a guest injures someone after drinking too much at the bar? Can the bartender get into trouble? Yes, and the bar they work for can get in trouble too. This is because of Dram Shop laws. They can be held responsible for someone who drives off and gets into an accident. The injured person blames the drunk driver. And the driver blames the bar. The bar blames the bartender. Everyone is pointing fingers at each other about who is more at fault... like in an earlier article - BURADA TEK SUÇLU OLAN BEN DEĞİLİM

Now about those words, "Doldur bak efkarlandım yine bu gece.. " Some may remember them from the song "Koy, Koy, Koy," by Tanju Okan. For readers too young to remember him, Tanju was a much-loved musical artist, and is greatly missed today. He was very talented, and a truly nice person in real life. Here is his song, played in a bar by Yağmur Akoğlu. https://youtu.be/eT4BHqfzoo8

And here are some memories of Tanju, from "Dostlarım"... https://youtu.be/1UmV60k99JI
