It does. But even if the laws reverted to being able to drink beer at 18, the law would have been broken because they (and she) were drinking liquor.

One way or another, the chapter comes out liable, I'm afraid.

Truthfully, though, even if the drinking age were 18 for anything, there is probably liability because just about everyone knew that she was getting drunk and allowed her to keep drinking. As you know, bars have been found liable for accidents after they let patrons drink too much. That's not apples and apples, but I don't think it's much of a leap for an attorney make.
