A man gets a drink from you until you notice he's becoming drunk. He asked for another one, you fix it, but then you decide not to give him one. Then he threatens to kill you and points a gun at you. It's your duty to refuse a drink to a drunk person so you tell him no. Well he kills you anyway, takes the drink that you had fixed and you had refuse to give and runs away. He drives drunk, hits someone and runs into a cliff somewhere and dies. OK, So would you and the place you worked for get sued for serving the drunk person?

No, you wouldn't get sued. You're dead. He shot you dead, remember?
As for the place you work getting sued, maybe. Anyone can sue anyone for anything in this day & age. So his surviving relatives might sue the bar.

Well, you're dead, and the place you worked for probably wouldn't get sued because technically, the drunk robbed you of alcohol at gunpoint. Probably didn't pay for that last drink, either.

Not if there were witnesses willing to come forward and make a statement to John Law and possibly testify to this effect in future court proceedings.
I'm taking it for granted that you were not the bartender.

Its illegal in most states to serve a person who is intoxicated. first of all. Second of all, what kind of place are you working in that you would have to worry about a gun being thrown into your face

No, for the same reason that if he had robbed a liquor store and gotten drunk and run someone over the liquor store would not be responsable.

no if the bartender refused to serve and the customer just took it away it would not be the bars fault.

I doubt that he can sue you since you are already dead but with all these people being sue happy, someone could possibly turn and sue the bar. They will find a loop whole and use it to their advantage.
