Abstract
Analysis of the views expressed by High Court in Cole on questions of autonomy, responsibility and duty of care in the context of alcohol related injury - role of tort law in such circumstances - legal position in Canada and the US - impact of legislation such as the Civil Liability Act on the common law since Cole - concludes that the legislature and High Court have adopted a distressingly narrow, individualistic approach to injury and duty in the context of intoxication.
