50 Signs of Visible Intoxication

Serving alcohol to visibly intoxicated person (VIP) is against the law. Visible intoxication is intoxication that other people can see. If you can tell on sight that a person has been drinking or using other drugs, the person is visibly intoxicated.

Here are some of the signs of visible intoxication. If a person shows just one or two of these signs, that does not necessarily mean the person is intoxicated. But if a person shows a combination of several of these signs, that could be a strong indication that the person is intoxicated.
