    • DServe it but make it a double so they leave sooner

    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: D. When they look younger than the age set by law or your workplace policy, often 25

    Many policies say to check anyone who looks under 25. That gives a safety margin above the legal drinking age.

    • CThey have no effect at all
    • DThey can make alcohol get into the blood faster

    Why are drinks that mix alcohol with energy drinks risky?

    • AEnergy drinks remove alcohol from the blood
    • BThe caffeine can hide how intoxicated a person feels, so they may drink more
    • CThey lower BAC
    • DThey make the alcohol weaker
    Voir la réponse
