Yep, pretty basic for anyone in the bar business. Been around forever. I don't know why so many people here are confused by it. You can't serve someone who is already wasted, doesn't matter if you know whether they are going to drive, etc...
It's a simple law. Obviously, it's broken all the time but when someone does leave a bar and kill someone w their car, the victim's relatives can sue the piss out of the bar if a case can be made. I was part owner of a bar in a very heavy drinking part of the world until 2017. It's a real issue.
