Responsibility

This is inspired by the comment here, where ladysysiphus says "If you have consumed enough alcohol to impair your judgement, I believe you then have to take at least some responsibility for putting yourself in a position where something like this might happen."

PS:

I evidently couldn't trust you to be backup or witness if I did get too drunk for my own safety

I must say I actually take things further than that: that is to say, if you're someone who would, unchecked, allow themself to become so drunk that they wouldn't think straight, rather than look out for you once you were slaughtered I'd just make sure you didn't get that drunk. I'd far rather pull you away from the bar while you were still only half-cut than pull you away from (or give evidence later for) a would-be molestation.
