Safe ServiceQuestion 69 of 80
Why is offering water and food part of safe alcohol service?
a.It can slow further intoxication and support the guest's wellbeing
b.It increases the guest's BAC
c.It replaces the need to stop service
d.It is required to serve every drink
Explanation
Offering water and food, especially as a guest nears their limit, supports hydration and can slow absorption of any further alcohol. It is part of a caring, responsible approach that helps prevent over-intoxication. Food and water do not lower an existing BAC, so stopping service may still be needed.
