What is the server's responsibility to their community?

  1. To become the main source of alcohol

  2. To promote as much alcohol consumption as possible

  3. To limit alcohol consumption to designated areas

  4. To act as gatekeepers of persons obtaining alcohol in public establishments

The correct answer is: To act as gatekeepers of persons obtaining alcohol in public establishments

The server's main responsibility is to ensure the safe and responsible service of alcohol to the community. Option A and B suggest promoting and maximizing alcohol consumption, which is not the server's responsibility and can lead to harm for individuals and the community. Option C does not fully encompass the server's responsibilities, as they also have to monitor alcohol consumption and prevent over-serving. Therefore, the most appropriate responsibility for servers towards their community is to act as gatekeepers and regulate the access and consumption of alcohol in public establishments.
