Alcohol Safety

Category - Legal

A customer comes up to the bar and asks Jessie for another martini, but the customer is clearly intoxicated. He says he has a designated driver with him, but Jessie decides not to continue serving him anyway. Was she right?
  1. No. The customer had a designated driver, so it would have been fine to continue serving him.
  2. It depends on the rules of the establishment. Each restaurant/bar has different policies when it comes to serving intoxicated patrons with designated drivers.
  3. Not entirely - Jessie should have spoken to the designated driver before making her decision.
  4. Yes. It is illegal to serve visibly intoxicated people even when they have a designated driver.
Explanation
Answer: D - Jessie was right to stop serving the customer because it is illegal to serve intoxicated patrons even if they have a designated driver with them.

Even though steps had already been taken to prevent drunk driving, Jessie still had a responsibility to ensure the safety and wellbeing of her customers. Furthermore, she and her employers could have potentially been held legally responsible if the customer became involved in an incident (a car accident, a fight, hospitalization, etc.) after leaving the establishment.
