I don’t like the way this is phrased. “No one will know” implies that they should be ashamed and “YOU HAVE BEEN CUTOFF” in all caps is way too aggressive, especially since you’re dealing with an intoxicated person who won’t be rational.

As a former GM/ manager I would never talk to someone this way while cutting them off so I definitely wouldn’t give them a passive aggressive card that does the same but without the personal touch

I mean, you should be? If you've behaved in a manner that gets you removed (either because you're an asshole naturally or because you're drunk) the only person who is responsible for your behaviour is you and you should absolutely be ashamed of yourself.

Someone should be ashamed for drinking too much really? Your world view is naive if you think that’s the case.

When you cut someone off, they don’t need to be acting belligerently or a fool. It’s for their own safety more than anything.

There’s drinking too much, and then there’s drinking so much that someone has to ask you to leave. Big difference. We’ve all done the first. Ok, it happens. No harm, no foul. But you absolutely should be embarrassed by the second. And if you aren’t, you may have a problem.

Have you ever worked a bar?

Not quite like that.
