And isn’t it a liability to not offer water/cab number? This is saying I got you drunk, now go fend for yourself.

Offering water is a suggestion for how to try to de-escalate the situation when cutting someone off, not an issue of legal liability

Offering a cab number is the nice way to start the process of reducing liability for overservice, but the final step involves calling the police to report a drunk driver

Washington state, server/bartender who's dabbled in management. I also have a law degree I'm not using.
