Question: Which statement best describes the legal definition of intoxication in Alberta for the purpose of serving alcohol?

Answer options:

  • Having a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) exceeding 0.05% ✅ Exhibiting visible signs of impairment that are typically associated with alcohol consumption.
  • Stating that one feels 'buzzed' or 'tipsy'.
  • Consuming more than 3 standard drinks within an hour.

Correct answer: Exhibiting visible signs of impairment that are typically associated with alcohol consumption.

Explanation: For the purpose of refusing alcohol service in Alberta, intoxication is defined by the observable, visible signs of impairment that are commonly associated with alcohol consumption. Servers are not expected to measure BAC; they are trained to recognize behavioural and physical cues. A patron's subjective feeling or a specific number of drinks are not definitive legal criteria for visible intoxication.
