What is a priority when developing policies for the service of alcoholic beverages?

  1. Maximizing profits at all costs

  2. Keeping the bar open for 24 hours

  3. Compliance with state and local laws

  4. Ignoring the advice of law enforcement

The correct answer is: Compliance with state and local laws

Developing policies for the service of alcoholic beverages should prioritize compliance with state and local laws to ensure the safety and well-being of customers and the establishment itself. Maximizing profits at all costs may lead to reckless and illegal serving practices, while keeping the bar open for 24 hours can also increase the risk of over-serving and potential safety hazards. Ignoring the advice of law enforcement can result in legal consequences and damage to the reputation of the establishment. Prioritizing compliance with state and local laws promotes responsible and safe service of alcohol.
