California Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Certification Practice Exam

A server may be charged with a misdemeanor crime for serving an obviously intoxicated person, as serving alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person is considered a violation of the law. With this charge, the server could face fines or potential jail time. Option A is incorrect as a regulatory infraction is a less severe violation that typically results in a warning or a fine. Option B is incorrect because a civil lawsuit would be brought upon by the injured party, not the state or government. Option D is incorrect as a felony charge is reserved for the most serious crimes and would not typically apply in this situation.
