What is the purpose of providing non-alcoholic alternatives at last call?

• A. They encourage continued drinking too.
• B. They provide a safe alternative and reduce impairment.
• C. They delay closing time.
• D. They escalate the risk.

Answer: (B)

Providing non-alcoholic drinks at last call reinforces responsible service by giving a safe, low-risk option for guests as they finish up. These beverages don’t raise blood alcohol concentration, so they help reduce impairment and support people who need to drive or simply want to pace their drinking. It’s a harm-reduction measure that helps guests leave in a safer state, rather than delaying closing time or increasing risk.
