IntoxicationQuestion 43 of 80
A patron shows several signs of intoxication but insists 'I'm fine, I do this every weekend.' High tolerance means:
a.They have a lower BAC than others
b.They may not appear as impaired even though their BAC and impairment are still high
c.They are legally safe to keep serving
d.Alcohol affects them less internally
Explanation
Tolerance can mask outward signs, but the person's BAC and physical impairment are still elevated and their driving is still affected. A high-tolerance patron who has clearly been drinking heavily should still be cut off. Servers cannot rely on a patron's self-assessment.
