ServSafe Alcohol Practice Exam

Which of the following is a physical sign of intoxication?

1. Increased focus

2. Relaxed inhibitions

3. Improved coordination

4. Enhanced concentration

The correct answer is: Relaxed inhibitions

Relaxed inhibitions are a clear and observable physical sign of intoxication. When individuals consume alcohol, it can impair their judgment and self-control, often leading them to act in ways they normally wouldn't. This relaxation of inhibitions is a common behavioral change associated with alcohol consumption, making it easier to identify someone who may be intoxicated. In contrast, increased focus, improved coordination, and enhanced concentration are typically not signs of intoxication. In fact, alcohol consumption generally leads to decreased focus and coordination, as well as impaired cognitive function, making the identification of relaxed inhibitions a key indicator of intoxication.
