Recognizing IntoxicationQuestion 39 of 80
Which combination of signs should most strongly prompt a server to stop alcohol service?
a.Smiling and ordering an appetizer
b.Paying with a credit card
c.Slurred speech, glassy eyes, and unsteady movement
d.Asking for a water refill
Explanation
The cluster of slurred speech, glassy or unfocused eyes, and unsteady movement clearly signals intoxication. When several impairment cues appear together, the server should stop alcohol service and shift to water, food, and safe-transport planning. Multiple cues are more reliable than any single one.
