Why do bars cut people off after awhile? Are they afraid I'll drink them out of business or hog all the booze?
I don't see what the problem is. If someone is willing to keep buying drinks why cut them off? Don't they want the extra money?

There are laws called “Dram Shop Acts” which hold a business which sells alcoholic drinks (such as a bar) or a host who serves liquor to a drinker who is obviously intoxicated or close to it, strictly liable to anyone injured by the drunken patron or guest (some States hold businesses to a higher standard than the host of a party in this regard).
@Greenbare and @bijouxbroussard are correct....the bars do this to avoid being held responsible for injury caused by someone who was served when intoxicated or nearly intoxicated (even when that injury is suffered by the drunk person).
It is not worth it to risk that much responsibility in order to sell a couple of additional drinks.
