ServSafe Alcohol Practice Exam

What should be your response if you suspect a guest may be impaired before they drive?

1. Recommend they call a cab or rideshare

2. Encourage them to have one more drink

3. Inform them that they are fine to drive

4. Ignore the situation if they insist on driving

The correct answer is: Recommend they call a cab or rideshare

The appropriate response to suspecting that a guest may be impaired before they drive is to recommend that they call a cab or rideshare. This action demonstrates a commitment to responsible alcohol service and the safety of both the individual and others on the road. Offering an alternative means of transportation helps to prevent potential accidents or legal issues that can arise from impaired driving. It prioritizes the well-being of the guest while also adhering to best practices in alcohol service etiquette. Other responses, such as encouraging further drinking or reassuring them that it is fine to drive, can increase the risk of impaired driving and lead to serious consequences for both the guest and the community. Ignoring the situation goes against the principles of responsible service and does not address the safety concern posed by a potentially impaired driver.
