> Short aside: this is why a bartender can kick you out of the bar for any reason. That reason is that you were drunk.

I never understood this.

You serve someone until they're too drunk to deal with and kick them to the street where they'll likely get arrested for drunk and disorderly conduct.

Why not give them some water and let them wait it out? OP said himself 95% of people understand and only 5% get a little rowdy after they've been cut off. The 95% should at least be given a hour and some water, not kicked out.

Probably because they're too drunk, vomiting, disorderly conduct, yelling, arguing. I doubt he'd throw someone out who is quietly getting the spins in a booth.

they are adults - why does someone else have to protect them from the consequences of their own choices?

Even if they are adults, they might be inexperienced in drinking. It is very easy to slip up and have a couple of drinks too many if you haven't experienced it before. I think bartenders should stop serving at the point where they might harm themselves.

I think they try to, but its not like they know patron A is a super lightweight and patron B has no liver
