Moral obligation? Moral obligation? I never really considered drinking to be a moral matter. Furthermore, if she is restrained in her drinking, I see no reason to interfere. If she is not, then you have justifiable cause granted through her own actions. Certainly you have no right to capriciously dictate the terms anyone other than yourself must live by, only a mad ego could convince you otherwise. My sentiments fall into line with Ziggy's on this one. |

They have a drive-in burger joint here in Dallas that serves beer. It's great, they'll bring it right to your window - even if you're sitting in the driver's seat! :O Waiter's aren't cops, they aren't doctors, and they aren't RESPONSIBLE for the patron's choices. The patron is the one responsible for their decisions. Anything else is modern blame passing faggotry. |

i believe avoiding that misunderstanding is exactly why the coma's are there. ;o And I think she wrote "A BEER", not "be a chronic alcoholic and drink enough beer to give a baby alcohol poisoning". ;> |

| Immortal Goat | Well, you are obviously more qualified to talk about pregnancy risks than many of us are, so I will trust your judgement. I was basically referring to everything else I have heard on things like Law and Order episodes and such. Misinformation ahoy! | ||

| glowbelly | ummm, it's ok to have A BEER when you are pregnant, boys, especially in the third trimester. | ||

| Immortal Goat | I have been wondering the same thing, actually. Well, almost. In my old job as a host, I felt very strongly about seating pregnant women and young children in the smoking section of our restaurant. I should HOPE there is a law against serving alcohol to visibly pregnant women, but knowing society today, I think that is too much decency to ask of them. | ||

| AngPur | Actually, on second thought I smell a catch 22... | ||

Personally, I'd say that you shouldn't do it, your responsobility to give people what they want as a waiter isn't as important as your responsobility to those peoples' health and well being. Because people can want the wrong things sometimes, and I think it's alright to act on that by not respecting peoples desires all the time, whether as a server or whateverelse. |

Yea, and by thinking she's pregnant you're offending her. You offensive judgemental asshole. Fuck you. Now we know your true colours. Making fun of fat, beer gutted unfortunates. Shame. |

If that were true in the eyes of the law, why put the warning on smokes? Also, when a mugger shoots a pregnant woman and the child dies, he gets sent up for murder. |

Ugh. I think you can serve it to them, because people who are visibly intoxicated are a danger to others around them. Pregnant women are only harming themselves, as well as the fetus they're carrying, which totally isn't a person anyway. FOOD FIGHT! |

| El Blanco | I wouldn't be shocked to find out you have a legal responsibility to refuse her. You can't serve alcohol to minors or the visibly intoxicated, so given what we know about alcohol about pregnancy, I'd think you can't serve it. | ||

| KevinTheOmnivore | Are we gonna start talking about pharmacists? Could we just skip to that part? | ||

Hypothetical Question If you're a waiter in a restaraunt and a woman in her third trimester of pregnancy orders a beer, is it a moral judgement to refuse her? Even if it's your responsibility as a waiter? |
