Why develop policies for the service of alcoholic beverages?

To allow underage drinking
To prevent alcohol service to minors and overly-intoxicated patrons
To serve alcohol without any limitations
To solely increase business profits

The correct answer is: To prevent alcohol service to minors and overly-intoxicated patrons

Developing policies for the service of alcoholic beverages is necessary to prevent alcohol service to minors and overly-intoxicated patrons. Option A, allowing underage drinking, would break the law and put the establishment at risk for legal consequences. Option C, serving alcohol without any limitations, could also lead to overconsumption and endanger the safety of patrons. Option D, solely increasing profits, disregards the importance of responsible alcohol service and could result in compromising the well-being of customers. Thus, option B is the most responsible and necessary reason for developing policies for the service of alcoholic beverages.
