Question: A patron who has been consuming alcohol at your establishment states they are going to drive home. They do not appear visibly intoxicated, but have consumed several standard drinks over a couple of hours. What is your primary responsibility in this situation?

Answer options:

• You have no responsibility, as they are not visibly intoxicated. ✅ Suggest alternate transportation options and offer to call a taxi.
• Inform them that driving after drinking is illegal, but take no further action.
• Confiscate their car keys if they insist on driving.

Correct answer: Suggest alternate transportation options and offer to call a taxi.

Explanation: Even if a patron is not visibly intoxicated, if you have reason to believe they intend to drive after consuming alcohol, you have a responsibility to intervene. Suggesting and assisting with alternate transportation, like calling a taxi, is a key part of ensuring customer safety and preventing impaired driving. Confiscating keys (option D) could lead to legal issues for the server, and options A and C are insufficient under responsible service guidelines.
