What is a guideline for the development of policies for serving alcoholic beverages?

  1. Ignoring state and local laws to accommodate more patrons

  2. Develop policies to prevent service to minors and intoxicated patrons

  3. Serving alcohol without any policies

  4. Encouraging competitive drinking games

The correct answer is: Develop policies to prevent service to minors and intoxicated patrons

Developing policies to prevent service to minors and intoxicated patrons is the best guideline for the development of policies for serving alcoholic beverages. This is because it is essential to follow state and local laws surrounding the service of alcohol and to ensure the safety of all patrons. Ignoring state and local laws (A), serving alcohol without any policies (C), and encouraging competitive drinking games (D) are all incorrect options. These actions could lead to legal consequences, danger to patrons, and an unsafe environment overall. It is important to prioritize responsible and safe practices when serving alcohol.
