If you feel another alcoholic beverage would make the customer intoxicated or possibly intoxicated, _____.

  1. Politely encourage the customer to drink water instead

  2. Politely refuse service

  3. Serve the customer but monitor their behavior closely

  4. Offer a discount for another drink

The correct answer is: Politely refuse service

The correct answer is B. Politely refusing service is the best course of action if you believe that serving another alcoholic beverage would make the customer intoxicated or possibly intoxicated. As a responsible bartender, it is essential to prioritize the well-being and safety of the customers. By declining to serve alcohol in this situation, you are taking a proactive step to prevent any potential harm that may arise from overconsumption. Options A, C, and D are not the best choices in this scenario. While encouraging the customer to drink water instead (Option A) may help to sober them up, it is still important to avoid serving additional alcohol in such cases. Monitoring the customer closely (Option C) while still serving them alcohol is risky as it may not prevent intoxication. Offering a discount for another drink (Option D) may encourage further consumption, which is not advisable when a customer is already at risk of becoming intoxicated.
