IntoxicationQuestion 50 of 80
A patron who has clearly reached intoxication asks you to just 'hold' their card and keep a tab open for more drinks later. You should:
a.Refuse further alcohol service and shift focus to their safety and a ride home
b.Keep the tab open and serve whenever they ask
c.Serve only beer since it is 'lighter'
d.Serve them but water it down without telling them
Explanation
Once a patron is intoxicated, no arrangement changes the duty to stop serving them alcohol. Beer is not a safe substitute because it still contains alcohol. The right move is to end service and help them get home safely.
