What are good hospitality policies for the service of alcoholic beverages at an ABC licensed premises?

  1. Serve one beverage per patron at a time and offer non-alcoholic alternatives

  2. Serve as many drinks as requested

  3. Only serve alcohol during happy hour

  4. Charge extra for water and non-alcoholic drinks

The correct answer is: Serve one beverage per patron at a time and offer non-alcoholic alternatives

Good hospitality policies for the service of alcoholic beverages at an ABC licensed premises should prioritize responsible service. Serving one beverage per patron at a time and offering non-alcoholic alternatives allows for better control of alcohol consumption and promotes the safety and well-being of patrons. Serving as many drinks as requested can lead to over-serving and potential safety concerns. Only serving alcohol during happy hour is too restrictive and may not consider the individual needs of patrons. Charging extra for water and non-alcoholic drinks is not a customer-friendly policy and may discourage patrons from choosing responsible alternatives.
