SCHULTZ, Justice
(dissenting).
I believe that the reasons advanced in my dissents in Fuhrman v. Total Petroleum, Inc., 398 N.W.2d 807, 810-15 (Iowa 1987), and Connolly v. Conlan, 371 N.W.2d 832, 833-36 (Iowa 1985), are still valid. I simply do not believe the legislature in enacting the Dram Shop Act intended to preempt other common-law action against licensees.
I would reverse.
LARSON, LAVORATO and SNELL, JJ., join this dissent.
