I'm pretty sure if he had gotten in an accident (killed himself or someone else) the bar would be held liable for serving him.
No idea how credible this website is but it talks about Ohio's dram shop laws.

"Dram shop acts, or dram shop laws, are laws which are designed to make business establishments liable for the injuries or damages caused by persons to whom they have sold alcohol. For example, if a bar or tavern sells alcohol to a patron, and that patron then injures someone in a car accident, the dram shop law allows the plaintiff to recover damages from the bar as well as the intoxicated person."
I personally think it's kind of ridiculous to fire her. How do they know she didn't try to stop him and he wouldn't listen. Maybe she was just trying to help keep the guy safe, and knowing how intoxicated he was, she knew him leaving (driving) was a bad idea.
I agree that there needs to be more details shared in order to form a good opinion.
