Exactlu, but it is responsible service. At least that's the argument they can make if there is ever an issue

you can cut someone off regardless of the serving size. we're not talking about 1/2 gallon + servings!

serve me 1/2 liters all night and I roll out and cause a problem, could be trouble for the establishment anyway (silly and sad, but true....accountability should be on the individual)

I agree, unfortunately, the legal system and the general public hold the establishment at fault. Mainly because in most cases, that is where the money is

And what is stopping me that my DD will buy my couple more without server seeing that I am drunk?

Establishment can't control everyone, these are just their attempts at CYA. In a legal sense, they look better for making the effort, and then can attempt to shift the blame to the patron (where it belongs anyways) it all comes down to the efforts of MADD trying to hold bars responsible for alcohol related deaths, thus making personal liability less important because suing individuals does not generally generate as large of a payday compared to suing say a large national restaurant chain with millions of dollars in revenue. The individual is still responsible criminally, but the lawyers go after the business in civil courts for big payouts
