It is not illegal to serve an alcoholic, although it has sometimes been illegal in the past to serve "known or habitual drunkards." In some jurisdictions it is illegal to serve a person who is apparently intoxicated. This sometimes applies only to commercial vendors whereas in other jurisdictions it also applies to social hosts. In some jurisdictions it is illegal to prevent anyone, including an intoxicated person, from leaving your premises.
