I hope they release the bar footage. I’m interested to see if he actually drank two waters, or even one. Do bars charge for a water in hopes to “circumvent” the dram shop lawsuits. Paper trail…Basically, ensuring less, or no, liability should the person they kicked out for being over served cause an accident or in a case like RS.It may be a liability issue. If he were to injure someone (falling or something), the bar could be sued.
Tennessee Dram Shop Laws and Social Host Liability for Alcohol-Related Accidents
When an intoxicated person injures someone else in Tennessee, find out whether or not the third party that provided the alcohol can be held liable.www.nolo.comDram Shop Liability Not Limited to DriversUnderstanding Tennessee's Dram Shop Laws

Remember that dram shop laws don’t just apply to driving. Any injury caused by any drunk person can lead to a dram shop lawsuit. So, if someone is drunk and falls on you, the dram shop law would apply and you could hold the business that sold the alcohol liable for your injuries, assuming you could demonstrate the other requirements of the statute.
Just thinking out loud…..
