Bars can lose their license for this. The law is the same in Colorado, but the practice is different. Here there is usually a last call announcement at 1:20-1:30 or so and no drinks will be served after this point. Only if someone really takes more than 30 minutes to finish a drink (more than a reasonable amount of time, IMHO) do they actually have to take drinks. Here the clients do not have to be out, but the alcohol does have to be off the tables by 2am. --Greg
