Story summary

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has proposed suspending St. Louis Bar & Grill's liquor licence for 60 days after a customer died at the establishment on April 11, 2026, following the consumption of 14 large beers over five-and-a-half hours. The patron, who was served the equivalent of more than 21 standard drinks, fell down a flight of stairs to the washroom and later passed away. The AGCO investigation concluded that the bar allowed the customer to remain and continue drinking despite signs of intoxication, violating Ontario’s Liquor Licence and Control Act. This incident highlights the importance of responsible alcohol service practices in preventing such tragedies.
