I've heard that dropping some Visine in a drink to give a troublemaker the runs is an old bartender's trick. Does this actually work??

The short answer is "no" - and there are dangers to the practice. http://www.snopes.com/medical/myths/visine.asp

DO NOT DO THAT!!!!
It is a major felony in all jurisdictions to contaminate food or drink intentionally. If caught, you could spend the next 20 years in jail. Just tell the jerk to go away, or spill your drink on him. Do not poison the guy.
Additionally, some people die if they ingest some of the ingredients in Visine. You could receive a sentence of life in prison for that.
Do not do it. Forget you ever heard about it.

PS Now that you posted the question, if the police search your computer they may find this information raising the crime to 1st degree capital murder, making you eligible for the death penalty.

false! the active ingredent in eye drops that makes people have the squirts has been removed. i'm a bartender and have used the "eyedrop in drink trick" many times in the past to get obnoxious drunks out of my bar

I've never heard of that, but the drops do glow under a black light.

It used to work. They used to use Phenolphalene in the mixture which is a very strong, well know laxative.
