Question: Which of the following is an example of 'indirect service' of alcohol?

Answer options:

  • Serving a drink to a patron who presents valid ID. ✅ A patron purchasing a drink and then giving it to a visibly intoxicated friend.
  • A bartender giving a complimentary drink to a regular customer.
  • A server bringing a second round of drinks to a table.

Correct answer: A patron purchasing a drink and then giving it to a visibly intoxicated friend.

Explanation: Indirect service occurs when alcohol is provided to a person who is not legally permitted to consume it (e.g., a minor or an intoxicated person), even if the transaction itself was made with an eligible patron. Serving an eligible patron who then gives the drink to an intoxicated friend is a clear example of indirect service, which is prohibited under AGLC regulations. The other options describe legitimate service.
