Recognizing IntoxicationQuestion 38 of 80
A regular guest insists they 'can handle their liquor' and shows no tolerance change. What should the server rely on?
a.The guest's claim of high tolerance
b.Observable signs of impairment regardless of the guest's self-description
c.Serving faster to test the claim
d.The guest's body size alone
Explanation
Tolerance may mask some outward signs, but impairment of judgment and reaction time still occurs, and BAC still rises. Servers should rely on observable behavior and drink pace, not a guest's claims. Legal limits apply regardless of a person's perceived tolerance.
