Should a bartender serve a customer who is clearly becoming tipsy weaker drinks (more mixer than alcohol) without lowering the drink price or telling the customer?

Nope, cut him off completely and call a cab for him, remove his car key from the chain and shove him in the taxi. He can take the same taxi the following day to retrieve his vehicle.

Use discretion. Offering a watered down drink for the same price is fraud. Keep serving or stop serving. Could also offer the customer pop instead. If a patron gets too drunk and a bartender keeps serving them they could be help liable. Weigh the risks.

to hell with that, if i'm sloppy drunk and i want a long island iced tea, it better push me over the edge or i'll be pissed.

Noo, thats wrong, either serve them what what they ask for or refuse to serve them, don't rob them.

That's wrong. Have the balls to say "Sorry, I'm not serving you any more. You have had enough drinks from me."

No. I bartend, and if a customer is clearly drunk or tipsy, I stop serving. Period. I don't care if they are insulted, I don't care if they make a scene, I DO NOT CARE. I'll do whatever I can to be polite but once I have made the decision to stop serving that is that. Have an appetizer, I'll call a cab and pay for it, let me buy you a soda. I will not have someone's death be my fault.

No, it's unethical. If someone is getting tipsy, offer him coffee or offer to call a cab for the customer.

as a former, i would a) find the people they are with b)confiscate keys(much easier when your a chick)c)call a cab. d) tell them they have to pay up their tab, and if thats difficult for them, or they argue, i simply cut them off, and follow a thru d. ethically, i cant rip anyone off, especially when they are out of wits, its just wrong.

Immoral and illegal

I think in order to stop them without an issue, serve then lemon or lime water... and tell them it's on the house.. no charge..
