Drowning your sorrows in alcohol is not fun. It probably means you're at a very low point in your life. And when you're feeling that low, too much booze can sink you even lower. It can make you a mean drunk who starts bar fights, or it can make you a public nuisance throwing up behind the dumpster. But even the sleaziest bars have standards, and causing too much trouble means you'll be shown the door, probably by a heavily muscled bouncer who unceremoniously throws you out onto the street (followed by the bartender yelling "And stay out!"). The only thing that will make you feel better is more alcohol, so it's time to find another bar. Rinse and repeat until you've been kicked out of every bar in town at least once (and are probably no longer welcome at a number of them).
When a character is shown like this at their lowest point, they might end up realizing what a mess they've made of their life and resolve to turn things around, or another character might take pity on them and help them get out of their funk.
And for the record, "You're barred!" is the British English version of "And stay out!", although it's just as likely to be said to someone who's expected to walk out of their own accord.
Sub-Trope of Persona Non Grata. Related to The Alcoholic, Drowning My Sorrows, Drunken Montage, I Need a Freaking Drink, Alcohol-Induced Idiocy, and Despair Event Horizon. May be the grown-up, low-key version of Expelled from Every Other School.

Cheers:
It's a Running Gag that Norm is The Scrooge and absolutely refuses to pay his (quite extensive) bar tab at Cheers. It's quite heavily implied that the other bars in town have decided to just bar him from entrance (and Cheers is thinking it over) as a result of this, with one episode having Norm arriving at a different bar because of the episode's events and the bartender yelling out a "Get out of here, Peterson!" five seconds later.
Downplayed when he gets picked as the bar's designated driver for the night. After dropping off his first patron, he returns and Carla reminds him that he's the designated driver. He replies "I know that and you know that, but did you have to call every bar in town and tell them?"

The Negotiationsverse: After Equestria loses the Conversion War, Rainbow Dash descends into alcoholism from the horrors of the war, the stress of her friendships shattering, and the deaths of nearly all her loved ones. Her drunken antics get her kicked out of nearly every bar in Canterlot, and the final straw comes when Pony Joe kicks her out of his bar for throwing a bottle at him. Sweetie Drops finds her passed out on a park bench, cleans her up, offers her coffee to get rid of her hangover, and recruits her into the Equestrian Freedom Fighters, an anti-human terrorist cell.

Andy Capp is a shiftless lush, mooching his wife's wages to pickle himself in British pubs. His principal haunt is The Rose and Crown, where proprietor Jack often tosses a pickled Andy into the street at closing time. Andy has also gotten himself ejected from other pubs, mainly for being a combative, impatient jerkass.

Dorothy Must Die: Dusty Acres is a tiny, dirt-poor town in the middle of nowhere with three bars. Amy's mom, a very much non-functional drug and alcohol addict with not much to live for except her vices, has been 86'd from two of them.

In 1977, one of the earliest Star Trek filksongs, "Banned from Argo", made its debut. The song tells how the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise took shore leave on Argo, left chaos and destruction behind them, and were banned from the whole planet.

In Issue #10 of The Secret World, reliving the memories of John Copley provides an extended sequence in which John and Che Garcia Hansson go on a tour of Kaidan district's nightlife. In the process, the increasingly intoxicated Che starts fights in almost every single venue they visit, leading to them getting thrown out of each one — usually following a combat minigame involving samurai chefs, gun-toting Yakuza thugs, or Oni mercenaries.
