I wouldn't mind a little more enforcement of that to help solve the problem. By implementing the minimum drink price rule, aren't lawmakers acknowledging that their server intervention laws are a) not going to be enforced or b) useless/ineffective? Why the F does said law exist?

Well... given that it's a bar, it may be hard to tell who is 'too drunk' to be served. Seems like a lot of responsibility to put on the server/waitress/bartender to accurately judge the level of intoxication in a customer. Not to mention bars/clubs
want to sell as much liquor as possible... it might be a conflict of interest to have the sellers of the product be the ones who are also judging when someone's had too much of it.
I clubbed for years when I was younger, wasted out of my mind, and I was never refused a drink anywhere, at any club, due to intoxication.
