IntoxicationQuestion 29 of 80
A patron is slurring their words, stumbling on the way to the bar, and now orders another drink. What should the seller-server do?
a.Serve one more, since they already paid
b.Serve a stronger drink to 'get it over with'
c.Politely refuse further alcohol service and offer water, food, or help with a ride
d.Ignore the signs and keep the line moving
Explanation
Slurred speech and stumbling are clear signs of intoxication, so the server must stop alcohol service. Offering water, food, and a safe ride helps de-escalate and keeps the patron safe. Continuing to serve would be illegal over-service and create Dram Shop liability.
