Question: A patron consuming alcohol at a licensed establishment causes property damage. What is the responsibility of the licensee and servers?
Answer options:
- Their responsibility ends at refusing further service.
- They are not responsible for property damage caused by patrons. ✅ They must take reasonable steps to prevent and address the damage, and could be held liable.
- They should call building security to handle the matter.
Correct answer: They must take reasonable steps to prevent and address the damage, and could be held liable.
Explanation: Licensees and their staff have a responsibility to maintain a safe environment and to prevent harm. This extends to property damage caused by intoxicated patrons. They must take reasonable steps to intervene and manage the situation (option C); simply refusing service does not absolve them of all responsibility for the patron's actions (option A). Claiming no responsibility (option B) is incorrect, as liability can extend to the licensee. While calling security (option D) may be a step, it doesn't diminish the licensee's ultimate responsibility.
