Question: A server is completing their shift and preparing to leave. They notice another server, now off-duty, consuming alcohol in the staff break room. This off-duty server appears to be significantly intoxicated after consuming several drinks. What is the duty of the server who is still on shift?

Answer options:

• No duty, as the other server is off-duty and responsible for their own actions. ✅ Inform a manager and prevent further alcohol consumption by the intoxicated off-duty server.
• Offer to call a taxi for the intoxicated server to ensure they get home safely.
• Continue with their duties, ensuring public patrons are served responsibly.

Correct answer: Inform a manager and prevent further alcohol consumption by the intoxicated off-duty server.

Explanation: A licensee is responsible for preventing intoxication on their licensed premises, which includes off-duty staff. The server still on shift has a duty to act responsibly and inform management, then prevent the already intoxicated individual (even if staff) from consuming more alcohol. Option A is incorrect because the individual is still on licensed premises. Option C is a good secondary step but doesn't address stopping further consumption. Option D ignores a significant safety and liability issue.
