Consistently follow the law and responsible-service practices, supported by training and records

A Avoid record-keeping
B Rely on luck
C Consistently follow the law and responsible-service practices, supported by training and records
D Sell as much as possible

Why this is the answer

The single best way for an establishment to minimize alcohol-related legal risk is to consistently follow the law and responsible-service practices — careful ID checks, avoiding over-service, lawful hours, and proper handling of incidents — supported by thorough staff training and good record-keeping. There is no shortcut or substitute for genuine, day-in day-out compliance. Managers who build this consistency into the establishment's culture and operations protect the license, the staff, and the public, and put the business in the strongest possible position if its practices are ever questioned. Consistency is the core of risk management here.
