When I had a drink package, I still had to present my cruise card every time I ordered, so they do keep track of how many drinks you’ve consumed on board.

You are right, and I did forget about that.
However, while I know the on board expenses are tallied on the card, I do not know what information is presented to the individual servers who scan the card to obtain the charge. I know retail clerks scanning a credit or debit card when I shop are only told that the charge was accepted - they do not get account information. I don’t know if the Carnival cruise line charge collection system is any different but I am told a server on a cruise ship cannot see your ship account information, such as other transactions; they see no more than a retail clerk sees in regular retail debit/credit transactions.
A later review of the account would show when and where the woman acquired the different shots of tequila, but her servers would not have known that unless she got them all at the same bar from the same server.
