On someone's birthday, seven other people were invited to the party, and men were also invited. After the banquet, several people dispersed. The organizer of the banquet found the man sleeping on the sofa and finally died of drinking too much. The family took seven people at the same table to court. The court made a judgment based on the evidence, cross-examination and the facts identified in court. The organizer invited seven other people to their birthday party. During the dinner, eight people didn't fight, nor did they persuade wine. Before the dinner ended, there was nothing unusual about the man. The police obeyed the family's request and did not conduct an autopsy on the man, so it was impossible to prove that the main cause of the man's death was excessive drinking. The court ruled that the organizer was mainly responsible and the other six people were not responsible. Because the organizer and the man's family have reached an agreement privately, there is no need to bear other responsibilities.

What is the legal basis of the court's decision?

It was indeed reported in the news before that after a person died of excessive drinking, the deskmate should bear legal responsibility and give appropriate compensation. Why did the court rule that other people at the same table in this case should not be held responsible? Because others have no obligation to take care of the man safely, they are not responsible for his death. Only the organizer of the banquet has the obligation to take care of the man and is responsible for his death. Family members are unwilling to autopsy, so they can't judge that the man's death is related to drunkenness; Finally, the people at the same table didn't persuade wine at the banquet, and they didn't drink compared with men, so there was no fault.

Under what circumstances should I take responsibility after the death of my deskmate?

If someone is the operator, manager or organizer of collective activities in public places, then he should have the obligation to ensure the safety of drinkers at the same table; If you persuade others to drink at the same table and the other person dies after drinking too much, you should also bear the responsibility.

Excessive drinking is not only harmful to health, but also may lead to death, which requires people not to drink with others or persuade them to drink.
