Question: A patron consumed several drinks and appears to be showing signs of moderate intoxication (slurred speech, slightly unsteady). Their friend offers to buy them one more drink. As a server, what should you do?
Answer options:
- Serve the friend the drink, as they are not intoxicated.
- Suggest that the intoxicated patron switch to water or food.
- Call a taxi for the intoxicated patron immediately. ✅ Refuse to serve any more alcohol to the intoxicated patron and inform their friend of the policy.
Correct answer: Refuse to serve any more alcohol to the intoxicated patron and inform their friend of the policy.
Explanation: It is illegal to serve alcohol to an intoxicated person, even if someone else is buying it for them. Suggesting water or food (Option B) is a good step but does not override the legal obligation to stop serving alcohol. Calling a taxi (Option C) is premature. The primary responsibility is to stop service to the intoxicated individual, as per AGLC regulations.
