California Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Certification Practice Exam

Service should be refused when a patron becomes belligerent or acts in a hostile, aggressive or threatening manner. True or False?

1. True

2. False

3. Only True on weekends

4. Only True for underage patrons

The correct answer is: True

The other choices are incorrect because they only specify certain situations in which service should be refused. Option B only addresses the situation of a patron becoming belligerent, but does not mention the other behaviors (hostile, aggressive, threatening) that also warrant refusal of service. Option C limits the scope to only weekends, which is not the case according to the question. Option D is also limited in its scope as it only addresses underage patrons, ignoring adult patrons who may exhibit inappropriate behaviors. Therefore, Option A is the best response as it is a blanket statement that covers all possible situations in which service should be refused.
