When refusing alcohol service to a patron, the server should do so:

Publicly
Discreetly
With a crowd
In a loud manner

The correct answer is: Discreetly

Refusing alcohol service to a patron should be done discreetly to maintain the individual’s dignity and avoid escalating the situation. This approach minimizes embarrassment and potential confrontation, which can arise from drawing attention to the refusal in a public or loud manner. By handling the situation privately, it allows the server to communicate the refusal respectfully and effectively without creating a scene that could affect other customers or the establishment's atmosphere. This also helps in ensuring that the patron understands the reasons behind the decision without feeling publicly shamed. Managing this process discreetly is an essential part of responsible beverage service, focusing on the welfare of both the patron and the overall environment of the venue.
