Recognizing IntoxicationQuestion 42 of 80
Which of the following best describes why a server should watch changes in a guest's behavior over the visit?
a.Behavior never changes with drinking
b.Intoxication develops gradually, so noticing changes helps catch impairment early
c.Only the first drink matters
d.Behavior change always means a medical emergency

Because intoxication builds over time, comparing how a guest acts early versus later in the visit helps a server detect rising impairment. Small changes in speech, mood, or coordination are useful warning signs. Early detection allows the server to intervene before the guest is heavily impaired.
