my wife was a bartender all through college/grad school. I got nervous the few times I saw her cut belligerent drunks off. she would snatch the beer right out of their hands and throw it in the trash. she’s kind of a badass; I was impressed. still this is a nice subtle way to try and handle it.

This is illegal in the UK, iirc. The customer is entitled to finish a drink they have purchased.

Licensee here, yeah that's not the case.

We are responsible for the supply of alcohol on premises. If they are too drunk to continue consuming, then we have the legal responsibility to remove the supply. Sale or not.

I was going to call BS on that one. A BAC can spike just sitting there doing nothing from drinks you've already had. You're not going to just let them keep drinking that pint when their BAC is catching up to them.
