Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Assuming all other factors are the same, a customer eating a big meal while consuming alcohol will get intoxicated at a slower rate than a customer who is only consuming alcohol.
Does this mean you can serve the customer with a meal more alcohol? Not necessarily. Food helps absorb some of the alcohol before the bulk of it goes into the bloodstream, so what this really means is that you should more closely monitor a customer who is not eating anything and just drinking, since he or she is more likely to get intoxicated at a faster rate.
