A pedestrian was struck and seriously injured by a car driven by an intoxicated driver. The driver had been served several alcoholic drinks by a bartender at a local bar. The pedestrian sued the bartender in a jurisdiction that does not have a dramshop act. Is the bartender vicariously liable for the pedestrian's injuries

No, because there is no dramshop act in the jurisdiction to impose liability
