How can you assist a group where multiple guests are intoxicated?

• A. Prioritize individual refusals, offer non-alcoholic options, and arrange safe transportation for the group.
• B. Encourage the group to stay and continue drinking.
• C. Immediately call for police.
• D. Ignore intoxication and continue service.

Answer: (A)

When guests are intoxicated, the priority is safety and responsible service. The best approach is to stop serving alcohol to the intoxicated individuals, offer non-alcoholic options, and help arrange safe transportation for the group. This reduces further consumption, provides alternatives, and helps ensure they get home safely. It also keeps staff calm, professional, and in control of the situation. Avoiding further service to intoxicated guests, rather than encouraging them to stay and drink, helps prevent harm. Calling police is reserved for when there is an immediate safety threat or legal issue, and ignoring intoxication or continuing service is unsafe and against responsible serving practices.
