Funny
Years sober alcoholic here realizing despite being an often loud obnoxious sloppy drunk getting in several fights (from running my mouth not attacking people), I never was cut off. (Except once by a buddy at his house party, which feels like the opposite of how this distribution should land.)
Is it that I just instinctively found dives where my shenanigans were tolerated, or does it take some kind of lower bat like attacking or sexually harassing people?
Just curious about others' experience. Thanks to any willing to share getting cut off stories.
I think a money-making establishment will always have a background incentive to make money, which will inevitably interfere with helping a person or even following the law, whereas your friend has mainly just the relational incentives to help you not hurt yourself or put yourself in a bad place
Except that financial incentive makes you 100% responsible if that patron you let keep drinking leaves and kills someone on the way home.
Bars and restaurants have an obligation to know when to cut people off. They have a legal responsibility, and if they fail that could lose their license forever.
