I have no ideas if the law are the same in every state, but this is incorrect where i am. These laws specifically create liability for a person who serves a drink to a person who is obviously intoxicated. In a bar. It's obviously puritan-minded bullshit, but the laws do exist, establishments with liquor licenses are required to train employees on them, and people have gotten sued or even prosecuted for them.

Bike theft is rampant in most cities. To the point where a lot of people into cycling will buy a second, cheap bike.
I know that in my state there are laws against over serving. As in, bartenders can actually be liable if someone is over served and then go out and get a DUI or something. It is, imo, fairly ridiculous.
I do not agree with this line of thinking at all. If someone gets drunk and drives a car the responsibility for that is not on the bartender for their bad decision, it's on the driver. The bartender has no idea if, when the person left the bar, they're heading for their car or an Uber or a bus. Furthermore, the purpose of bars is for people to get drunk. These sorts of laws are absolutely based in "ok we're going to allow you to sell alcohol but also drinking is BAD and WRONG so we are going to punish you if you, a person who is hired to sell drinks, allows a person to get drunk." Fuck that puritanical bullshit.
