What should be done if a patron is over-intoxicated?

When a patron is over-intoxicated, the appropriate response is to refuse service and offer assistance, such as calling a cab. This is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, continuing to serve alcohol to someone who is already over-intoxicated can lead to dangerous situations, both for the individual and for others, as it increases the risk of accidents and health problems. Additionally, responsible alcohol service practices prioritize the safety and well-being of patrons. By offering assistance, such as arranging for safe transportation, you are taking action to ensure that the patron does not drive under the influence, thereby protecting them as well as the wider community from potential harm. This approach complies with legal obligations surrounding the service of alcohol and demonstrates a commitment to responsible service standards.
