Question: An establishment hosts a special event where a temporary liquor license has been granted for an outdoor patio extension. A patron requests a refill of their drink while standing just beyond the temporary licensed area. What is the server's responsibility?

Answer options:

• Serve the patron, as they are still on the establishment's property.
• Refuse service and explain that liquor cannot be served or consumed outside the licensed area. ✅ Ask the patron to step back into the licensed area before serving them.
• Refer the patron to the event organizer to clarify the boundaries of the licensed area.

Correct answer: Ask the patron to step back into the licensed area before serving them.

Explanation: Liquor must only be served and consumed within the boundaries specified by the liquor license, permanent or temporary. If a patron is outside the temporary licensed area, the server cannot legally provide alcohol. The correct action is to ask the patron to move back into the designated licensed area before serving them, ensuring compliance. Refusing service outright might be too broad; the patron can move. Referring to an organizer is passing responsibility.
