Who is responsible when the night ends in tragedy? ⚖️
Holding a bartender criminally liable for a driver's choice sets a terrifying precedent. We are blurring the line between "over-serving" and personal accountability. Can we really expect service workers to police the choices of grown adults?

📅 This Day in History – Sept 21, 1780
Benedict Arnold betrays the American cause.
So here’s his cocktail:
🥃 General Regret
1 oz American Apple Brandy
¾ oz Passion Fruit Syrup
½ oz Lemon Juice
¼ oz Falernum
½ oz London Dry Gin (floated)
Dash Angostura bitters
Sweet and spiced like the colonies. Sharp with citrus.
Then floats the cold, dry betrayal.

How you order it says everything: blue-rare like bloodied prestige, or well-done like working-class caution. I see it behind the bar every night.
Barthes saw it in France. I see it in America.
Might write a full essay if folks are hungry for more.
