  "account": "The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario is considering suspending a Toronto bar's liquor licence for 60 days following the death of a customer who had consumed the equivalent of 21 drinks at the establishment earlier this year.\n\nA customer at St. Louis Bar & Grill on St. Clair Avenue West was served 14 beers, each measuring 23 ounces, over a period of five and a half hours on April 11. The patrons later died after falling down the staircase leading to the bar's washroom.\n\nThe regulator's investigation revealed that the bar continued serving alcohol to the intoxicated customer. The Liquor Licence and Control Act was allegedly violated by the establishment.\n\nThe regulator states that the bar has the right to appeal the proposed suspension within 15 days of receiving notice.",
