What should you do if a guest is showing signs of intoxication?

In situations where a guest is showing signs of intoxication, the appropriate response is to stop all alcohol service. This practice is essential for ensuring the safety and well-being of the guest as well as others in the establishment. Serving alcohol to an intoxicated person can lead to further impairment and increase the risk of accidents or health issues, not to mention potential legal liabilities for the establishment.

This policy not only reflects responsible service practices but also aligns with regulations regarding alcohol service. It helps to prevent over-serving, which can escalate situations and may result in negative experiences for both the individual and the venue. By stopping alcohol service, staff can focus on stabilizing the guest's condition, potentially offering food or non-alcoholic beverages, and ensuring they have a safe plan for leaving the establishment.
