A patron is slurring their words, stumbling on the way to the bar, and now orders another drink. What should the seller-server do?

1. AServe one more, since they already paid
2. BServe a stronger drink to 'get it over with'
3. CIgnore the signs and keep the line moving
4. DPolitely refuse further alcohol service and offer water, food, or help with a rideĐúng

Vì sao: 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.
