It very rarely gets used. My guess is that it's there for the extreme cases of over service and something really bad happens ie. drunk driver ends up killing people.
It is one of the reasons you don't see as many full open bars for weddings, Christmas partys, etc anymore. If you host a full no limit open bar and somebody gets hosed and kills somebody, the person or company throwing the party can be held responsible. Most are now free drinks before dinner, two drink tickets, a tooney bar or something similar.
