Is it legal for servers, managers, and licensees to sell liquor to an intoxicated person?

  1. Yes, if they are friends

  2. No, it is prohibited

  3. Yes, if they feel safe

  4. No, only in emergency situations

The correct answer is: No, it is prohibited

Selling liquor to an intoxicated person is prohibited under the regulations governing the sale and service of alcohol in British Columbia. The law is designed to promote responsible service and ensure the safety of patrons, staff, and the public. Serving alcohol to someone who is already intoxicated can lead to further impairment and increase the risk of accidents or disturbances. This measure helps maintain public order and reduce the potential for alcohol-related harm. The prohibition against serving intoxicated patrons is a key principle of responsible alcohol service training, as those in the hospitality industry are expected to recognize signs of intoxication and take appropriate actions to refuse service. By enforcing this rule, servers, managers, and licensees contribute to a safer environment for everyone involved.
