You are serving two customers: one who is also ordering a big meal in addition to alcohol and one who is only ordering cocktails. Assuming all other factors are the same, is one of them going to get more intoxicated than the other?
  1. Yes. The customer not eating the meal will get intoxicated faster.
  2. Yes. The customer eating the meal will get intoxicated faster.
  3. No. They will get intoxicated at the same rate.
  4. It is impossible to predict.
Explanation
Answer: A - Assuming all other factors are the same, a customer eating a big meal while consuming alcohol will get intoxicated at a slower rate than a customer who is only consuming alcohol.

Does this mean you can serve the customer with a meal more alcohol? Not necessarily. Food helps absorb some of the alcohol before the bulk of it goes into the bloodstream, so what this really means is that you should more closely monitor a customer who is not eating anything and just drinking, since he or she is more likely to get intoxicated at a faster rate.
