I was saddened to read your article about the young mother who died Thursday evening in Montclair, but I was outraged with how you wrote it. “Jenna Elizabeth Stewardson was given more to drink than a women her size...” Where do YOU draw the line at personal accountability?
I doubt very seriously that the bartender held her down and MADE her drink an excess amount of alcohol. Where is her responsibility to her twins?
The bartender had no other responsibility than to do his job of selling alcohol, to put this on him/her is outrageous.
She was 21 and a legal adult. The bartender was not her keeper. She was. I sympathize with her family but come on, she made a mistake and it cost her life and her twins’ future.

It’s refreshing to see an editorial about personal accountibility.
People rely on the ‘community’ or the government to do things we used to do for ourselves. No one is ever ‘at fault’ when it’s so easy to blame someone else.
Good article, well written.
