Question: Why is it important to offer food and non-alcoholic beverages to patrons consuming alcohol?
Answer options:

Offering non-alcoholic options gives patrons alternatives and helps them pace their drinking. While options A and D are true benefits, option C is the primary reason related to responsible alcohol service.
