IntoxicationQuestion 39 of 80
Why is 'cutting off' a patron best done early, at the first solid signs of intoxication, rather than waiting?
a.It increases sales
b.Because BAC keeps rising after the last drink and the patron will only get more impaired
c.Because the law requires exactly five drinks first
d.Because coffee will sober them quickly anyway
Explanation
Alcohol already consumed continues to absorb, so a patron's BAC can keep climbing even after their last drink. Cutting off early prevents the patron from reaching a dangerous level. Waiting makes the situation harder to manage and increases liability.
