Correct answer

Avoid promotions that encourage rapid or excessive drinking and comply with any legal limits on specials

  1. A Offer unlimited drinks
  2. B Maximize volume at all costs
  3. C Avoid promotions that encourage rapid or excessive drinking and comply with any legal limits on specials
  4. D Ignore the law

Why this is the answer

When designing drink specials, a responsible manager avoids promotions that encourage rapid or excessive consumption — such as unlimited-drink deals or contests — and complies with any legal limits on specials, which exist in some jurisdictions. The goal is to attract business without driving the over-intoxication that leads to harm and liability. Thoughtful promotions (for example, featuring food, or reasonable happy-hour pricing within legal bounds) can boost sales while remaining consistent with responsible service. Balancing marketing with safety and compliance is part of a manager's judgment.
