Which statement about designated drivers is true?

A server is not liable for over serving guests with a designated driver
A guest can be allowed to become intoxicated if accompanied by a designated driver
Over serving a guest who came with a designated driver is illegal
Establishments are not liable for over serving guests with a designated driver

The correct answer is: Over serving a guest who came with a designated driver is illegal

The statement about designated drivers that is true highlights the legal responsibility that establishments have in serving alcohol. When a guest is identified as having a designated driver, it does not exempt the establishment from its obligation to ensure that all customers are served responsibly. Over serving any guest, regardless of whether they have a designated driver, leads to legal repercussions and liabilities for the establishment. Therefore, it is indeed illegal to over serve a guest who came with a designated driver. This is important for both patrons and servers to understand because the presence of a designated driver might lead some to believe that consuming more alcohol is acceptable; however, it is the responsibility of the establishment to maintain safe serving practices for all customers to prevent potential harm and legal issues.
