Unless you can prove they knew of her condition and sold drinks anyway, you have a tough claim .

My condolences on your loss.
A claim against the bar will be challenging given the circumstances you provide. If the bar knowingly served her alcohol after she was obviously intoxicated you may have a claim.
There are a few attorneys in your area who I would suggest you consult to determine whether you have a claim which can be sustained.

No.
Florida has laws that protect bars.
Even then, she got home. They are not responsible at all.
Your wife is responsible. If you had car insurance, you may bring a claim against her and to do so you should contact an attorney right away. Please contact me if you would like to discuss this further.
