In October 2020, Wang entrusted Guan to invite Liu Jia, Shang and others, who were working for Wang, to go to the **city** seafood self-service barbecue live fish hot pot restaurant for dinner. However, the dinner turned out to be a tragedy. When Ao's son Liu Yi went downstairs after the dinner, he refused to be supported by the co-drinker, and as a result, he fell down the stairs and was sent to the ** Municipal People's Hospital for treatment, but died after rescue.
The court heard the case and held that the case was a consequence of Ao's son's death due to a fall caused by eating and drinking. First of all, it should be made clear that although Wang, as the convener of the dinner, did not participate in the dinner, as the organizer of the dinner, he should fulfill his duty of care to the people who participated in the catering and drinking. Wang appealed, arguing that he did not invite Ao's son Liu Yi to the restaurant for dinner, and that Ao's son took the initiative to go, but there was no evidence to confirm it. Therefore, the original trial court's judgment that Wang bears 10% secondary responsibility for the death of Ao's son was not improper.
Guan and others were familiar colleagues with Ao's son Liu Yi, and Li was refused to support Liu Yi when he went downstairs, and Li did not insist on supporting Liu Yi according to his drunken state, so his liability for compensation could not be reduced. When drinking together, we should be kind to others to remind and admonish, after drinking, we should take care of each other to ensure safety, and taking humanistic care is also a requirement of a harmonious society for everyone with a moral conscience. Now that Ao's son has died, the court has decided that Ao's son Liu Yi bears 80% of the responsibility, Wang is responsible for 10%, and Guan and others are responsible for 10% of the responsibility.
In this case, we can see the tragedy caused by a dinner party. In daily life, we often encounter a variety of dinner occasions, whether it is an annual meeting organized by the company or a gathering between friends, we need to pay attention to safety issues. Especially when it comes to drinking, we need to keep a clear head at all times and avoid making risky decisions because of the effects of alcohol.
As the organizer or convener of the meal, we need to take care of the people who participate in the meal. This means that we should make sure they are safe, especially if they are drinking. If we find that someone has drunk too much or is unwell, we need to take timely measures, such as helping them arrange transportation home or provide some ways to relieve their hangover. Only in this way can we do our part and keep others safe.
As participants at the table, we are also responsible for the safety of others. If someone is uncomfortable or dangerous during drinking, we should help and remind them in time. For example, in the case of Liu Yi's refusal to support, Li should insist on supporting him to ensure his safety. At the same time, we can also help others control their drinking through kind reminders and exhortations to avoid accidents due to excessive drinking.
Drinking water is the healthiest
This case has brought us a lot of reflections and warnings. In our daily lives, we should always keep a clear head and pay attention to the safety of drinking and dining. As organizers and participants, we all have a responsibility to protect the safety and interests of others. Only in this way will we be able to avoid similar tragedies from happening again and make our lives better and safer.
