Is it legal to sell an alcoholic beverage to a person known to be intoxicated?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only with a warning

  4. It depends on local laws

The correct answer is: No

Selling an alcoholic beverage to a person known to be intoxicated is illegal due to the potential for increased harm to the individual and the community. This regulation is in place to protect public safety and to reduce the risks associated with intoxication, such as impaired judgment, increased likelihood of accidents, and health complications. Establishments licensed to sell alcohol have a legal responsibility to refuse service to individuals who are visibly intoxicated. This principle helps maintain responsible alcohol service and promotes a safer environment for all patrons. The other options suggest scenarios that are either incorrect or misleading regarding the legal framework surrounding alcohol sales. State laws are designed to be unequivocal about the importance of understanding and adhering to responsible service practices.
