Is there any responsibility for an accident after drinking at the same table? Thank you

As the saying goes, "no wine is no feast", and wine plays an irreplaceable role in activities such as reunions of relatives and friends, send-offs, and farewells. In recent years, tragedies due to drinking have been repeatedly reported in the newspapers, which makes people sad, such as: sudden death of employees at company parties after drinking, drunk driving accidents after drinking with friends, and death due to alcohol.

Legal analysis: There was an accident when drinking at the same table, and the other parties were forced to persuade them to drink; Persuading the other party to drink alcohol even though he knows that he cannot drink alcohol; failing to escort a drunk person safely; If a drunk driver fails to dissuade himself from causing damage such as a traffic accident, he or she shall be responsible for the friend who caused the accident due to drinking. Where the perpetrator infringes upon the civil rights and interests of others due to fault, he shall bear tort liability.

Where two or more persons cause harm to others with joint intent or joint negligence, or even though there is no joint intent or joint negligence, their acts of aggression and remorse directly combine to cause the same harmful consequences, it constitutes joint tort and shall bear joint and several liability. Where two or more persons do not have joint intent or joint negligence, but the same harmful consequence occurs indirectly in combination with several acts carried out separately, they shall each bear corresponding liability for compensation based on the extent of the prior remorse or the proportion of causal force.

Legal basis: Civil Code of the People's Republic of China

Article 1165:Where the perpetrator infringes upon the civil rights and interests of others due to fault and causes harm, they shall bear tort liability.

Where it is presumed that the actor is at fault in accordance with the provisions of law, and he cannot prove that he is not at fault, he shall bear tort liability.

Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in the Trial of Personal Injury Compensation Cases

Article 3: Where two or more persons cause harm to others with joint intent or joint negligence, or where there is no joint intent or joint negligence, but the same harmful consequences occur directly in conjunction with their infringing acts, it constitutes a joint infringement and shall bear joint and several liability in accordance with article 130 of the General Principles of the Civil Law. Where two or more persons do not have joint intent or joint negligence, but several acts carried out by them indirectly combine to produce the same harmful consequence, they shall each bear corresponding liability for compensation based on the degree of negligence or the proportion of causal force.

If a person who drinks a bad stove has compulsion to persuade a drunk person to leak alcohol, instigates a drunk person to drive, and allows the drinker to drive away without dissuading him, he will bear joint and several liability, and if he is suspected of dangerous driving, he will bear corresponding criminal liability.
