If apparent, GA's with Manager/Supervisor intervention can refuse, and the info is relayed to the operating Crew. Again -- in my experience, this has been a very rare occurrence.
There have been scenarios where the gate agent has asked the I/C to make a determination and the Customer's boarding/carriage is provisional on no alcohol being served on board. Again -- rare.
