If someone is intoxicated but not planning to drive, can more alcohol be served to them?

Serving more alcohol to someone who is already intoxicated is against the law because it poses significant safety risks and can lead to further intoxication. Legal and responsible alcohol service practices require staff to recognize signs of intoxication and to refuse service to individuals who demonstrate these signs. This is not only a matter of legal compliance but also of ethical responsibility to ensure the safety of all patrons and the community.

By refusing to serve additional alcohol to someone who is intoxicated, you are promoting a safer environment and minimizing the risk of accidents or harm, regardless of the individual's intentions regarding driving or leaving the establishment. The law prioritizes public safety and mandates that responsible beverage service includes assessing and responding appropriately to a person's level of intoxication.
