How do you slow down a patron and prevent them from becoming intoxicated?

How do you deal with an intoxicated patron in a bar?
Avoid the Intoxicated Patron. Instead of relying on a drunk patron to change what they’re doing, slow down the flow of drinks yourself. Servers or bartenders may have to avoid that customer for longer periods of time to slow down the service of drinks. This will give the intoxicated customer more time for the alcohol to pass through their system.
How do I manage an intoxicated client?
The following steps can assist in the management of an intoxicated person.

First and foremost, assess the situation and consider your safety, the affected person’s safety, and the safety of others.
