    Because if they refuse and then if the person downs the drink, gets too drunk and injures someone the bar and bartender are held responsible. Bar tenders are supposed to cut you off at a certain point to avoid this.

      That does raise a good point. The sale shouldn’t have been made in the first place, which is a good reason to refund it.
