Is it legal to continue serving alcohol to someone who becomes intoxicated in your bar or restaurant?

  1. Yes, as long as they seem fine

  2. No, it is illegal

  3. Only if they order food

  4. Yes, but only low-alcohol beverages

The correct answer is: No, it is illegal

No, it is illegal to continue serving alcohol to someone who becomes intoxicated in your bar or restaurant. This is because serving alcohol to an intoxicated individual can lead to overserving, which can in turn result in harm to the intoxicated person or others. It is important for bartenders and servers to know when to cut someone off and to be responsible in their alcohol service practices. The other options are incorrect: - Option A: Yes, as long as they seem fine - This is incorrect because appearances can often be deceiving, and it is crucial for establishments to prevent serving alcohol to individuals who are already intoxicated. - Option C: Only if they order food - Serving food alongside alcohol may help slow down the absorption of alcohol, but it does not change the legality of serving alcohol to an intoxicated person. - Option D: Yes, but only low-alcohol beverages - The alcohol content of the beverage does not change the legal responsibility of the bartender or server to stop serving someone who is already intoxicated.
