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.

It's the same as the clerk of a store being forced to ID someone to buy cigarettes or liquor. It doesn't matter if there's a conflict of interest, it's the law.
I can walk into a bar when sober and it's pretty easy to tell who's drunk.
