Alcohol Server · Manager Responsibilities

Because the establishment serves alcohol under a license, the manager must understand that violations can lead to:

Correct answer

Suspension or revocation of the establishment's license, plus fines and other penalties

  1. A Only staff being fired
  2. B No consequences
  3. C Suspension or revocation of the establishment's license, plus fines and other penalties
  4. D A small fine only

Why this is the answer

Because alcohol is served under a license granted by the state, the manager must understand that violations can lead to serious consequences for the business — including suspension or revocation of the license, substantial fines, and other penalties — in addition to consequences for individual servers. Losing the license can shut down a major revenue source or the entire business. This is why managers must take compliance seriously and ensure staff follow the law. The license is a privilege that depends on responsible operation.
