Are establishments allowed to let intoxicated individuals enter or stay on the premises?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only if they are accompanied by a sober friend

  4. Only for a short period

The correct answer is: No

Establishments are not allowed to let intoxicated individuals enter or remain on the premises because this policy is in place to ensure the safety and well-being of both the intoxicated individuals and other patrons. Allowing intoxicated people in can pose risks, including potential harm to themselves and disruption to the environment. Additionally, responsible service practices mandate that servers refuse service to individuals who appear intoxicated to minimize alcohol-related harm. The prohibition against allowing intoxicated individuals on the premises aligns with the legal obligations of establishments to create a safe and controlled environment. This primarily aims to prevent incidents that could lead to injuries or legal liabilities and is supported by the principles of responsible alcohol service.
