You already see drink tickets in brewerys and it works out pretty well. People are limited to 4 beers at the brewery. You can argue they can just go to another bar and get drinks, but again with bartenders watching those who they serve they won't serve an intoxicated patron.

And expecting bars to track the amount of alcohol each patron is consuming is next to impossible. There's no way to know if customers are giving others their tickets and yes they can go to other bars as well. It's extremely flawed and would likely be less effective than the checkpoints allegedly are.
