If there was that decision, it maybe affected SC tort law, but I can't imagine a decision that would take away all liability from a bar/restaurant in those circumstances. Like Kevin said, it differs from state to state, but I can't imagine a regime that would lift liability like that. That's one of the things you buy liability insurance for, situations like this.
