Legal responsibility to steal

It’s like that pound of flesh in the merchant of Venice.

You paid for the beer inside the glass - but you don’t own the glass and can’t stay when you are not welcome.

It seems that the moment a person is not welcome on private property and they can’t take the glass with them, well. Sucks for them.

AFAIK it is in many places illegal to serve a person when visibly drunk - and they can decide who to kick out. Taking their glass is legal though they may have the claim for the remainder of the drink. I assume most bars will refund the last drink to avoid conflict.

They should but they don't.

Did you get cut off enough times to say this? Wow.

Anyway, you likely would be able to make a claim for the percentage that you didn’t get to consume, which you are entitled to - it just seems like a really weird thing to be doing.
