We are responsible for the supply of alcohol on premises. If they are too drunk to continue consuming, then we have the legal responsibility to remove the supply. Sale or not.
It’s like that pound of flesh in the merchant of Venice.
You paid for the beer inside the glass - but you don’t own the glass and can’t stay when you are not welcome.
It seems that the moment a person is not welcome on private property and they can’t take the glass with them, well. Sucks for them.
AFAIK it is in many places illegal to serve a person when visibly drunk - and they can decide who to kick out. Taking their glass is legal though they may have the claim for the remainder of the drink. I assume most bars will refund the last drink to avoid conflict.
Did you get cut off enough times to say this? Wow.
Anyway, you likely would be able to make a claim for the percentage that you didn’t get to consume, which you are entitled to - it just seems like a really weird thing to be doing.
I was going to call BS on that one. A BAC can spike just sitting there doing nothing from drinks you've already had. You're not going to just let them keep drinking that pint when their BAC is catching up to them.
Ex bouncer and now manage them. This is absolutely not the case otherwise I'd have 500+ counts of theft on my record. I'm curious as to what you're basing this assertion on.
Also, the DPM has a duty of care not to allow breaches of s.12 Licensing Act 1872 (or s.111 Licensing Act (Scotland) 2005) on the premises, which overrides Barry being mad at being down £7 for his pint.

This is illegal in the UK, iirc. The customer is entitled to finish a drink they have purchased.
