According to the Pennsylvania Liquor Code, to whom is it illegal to serve alcoholic beverages?

Non-RAMP Certified Server/Sellers
Visibly Intoxicated Patrons
Children over the age of 21
Minors

The correct answer is: Visibly Intoxicated Patrons

Serving alcoholic beverages to visibly intoxicated patrons is illegal according to the Pennsylvania Liquor Code because doing so can lead to further intoxication, which poses safety risks not only to the individual but to others as well. Establishments that serve alcohol have a responsibility to monitor their patrons and ensure that they do not continue to serve those who have already reached a state of intoxication. This regulation is important to promote the safety and well-being of patrons and to prevent alcohol-related incidents such as accidents or aggressive behavior, which can result from over-serving. In contrast, non-RAMP Certified Server/Sellers, while they may not be trained to recognize the signs of intoxication effectively, are not outright prohibited from serving alcohol; they simply lack the certification that ensures they are educated in responsible alcohol service. Children over the age of 21 are legally allowed to consume alcohol, as the law recognizes individuals at 21 and older as adults. Lastly, serving minors is illegal, but this option is not the correct answer here as visibly intoxicated patrons are specifically highlighted in the question regarding legal serving limits.
