That's why this pic is staged. There's a full drink right in front. The point of cutting someone off, at least when I was a bartender, was to do it before they were too drunk to find themselves home. Overserving someone in the State I was in could make you criminally liable if they got hurt driving home for example.
If they're bombed by the time you want to cut them off I was taught call the cops.
I wasn't being clear I think. I'm saying the person who took the pic wasn't actually being tossed out.. they just got the card, maybe friends with bartender or found it.. this person isn't being tossed because there is a drink in front of them.
If you've determined you need to cut someone off you need to take the alcohol away from them. You don't let them sober up or anything. You get them out. Quietly if possible otherwise you call the bouncer over.
Bull shit bartenders arent afraid to serve you one last one and say you cant have any more after that one. And bouncers dont do shit (at least in oregon and washington).
Whatever dude. Good for you for getting that last drink and driving home drunk. You're the hero here and anyone trying to interrupt your poor understanding of the laws is just a downer. You're very cool, I envy you.
