Alcohol Safety

Answer: C - No U.S. law specifically states that establishments must provide transportation, but seeing as they can be held liable for harm caused to or by intoxicated customers, it is appropriate that they offer safe transportation home for any intoxicated patron who needs it.

Establishments are responsible for ensuring the safety of their customers, and the fact is that it is illegal to continue serving intoxicated people in the first place. If a customer does become intoxicated and cannot drive, efforts should therefore be made to arrange transportation, call a taxi service, or otherwise provide safe accommodations. If no effort is made to ensure the customer’s safety, both criminal and civil liability charges could result.
