Question: What is the maximum penalty for a licensee in Alberta for serving an intoxicated person?

- A fine of up to $1,000 for a first offense. ✅ A fine, suspension or cancellation of their liquor licence, and potential criminal charges.

Correct answer: A fine, suspension or cancellation of their liquor licence, and potential criminal charges.
Explanation: Serving an intoxicated person is a serious violation under the Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis Act. Licensees can face severe penalties, including substantial fines, the suspension of their liquor licence (meaning they cannot sell alcohol for a period), or even permanent cancellation of the licence, which would result in closure. In extreme cases, criminal charges could also apply. Options A, B, and D significantly understate the potential legal and financial ramifications for a licensee.
