Would you serve a friend with an alcohol problem a drink?

And therefore...
I absolutely would not. Alcoholism is a deadly disease and once a person is diagnosed either by themselves or a doctor there should be no turning back. An alcoholic will not just have one drink the physical compulsion to drink will return and within a short time the alcoholic will be drinking again.
It is the first drink that kills the alcoholic once he/she has determined that alcoholism is the diagnosis. Picture it like this if you were struck by a moving train what train car would kill you? The first one, the rest would run you over but the first one would be the deadly one. Giving a friend a single drink if they are an alcoholic could be giving them the drink that kills them.

It's highly unlikely that I'd end up serving him the drink, but as his friend I'd take a lot more responsibility for helping him than just saying no. Like finding out if something triggered the relapse, maybe encouraging him get back in touch with AA or whoever helped him before, and at the very least letting them know they can count on me if they're struggling with their addiction or anything else.
Is it theoretically possible that they could convince me they've got rid of the problem, and they can handle a social drink now and again? Yes, it's possible depending on how serious the problem was, how long it's been since it was a problem, and what's changed in their lives since.

M$Defintely not. If you know that ur friend has an alcohol problem and serve him a drink, it is akin to feeding him poison. Not only should u not give him a drink, but u should not take one in his presence also. Stopping alcohol is a very stressful thing. One has to have a lot of willpower to do so. They need all our support and at all times.

Serving him alcohol would be the equivalent of kicking my friend with a broken leg in the shin....

It is far better if he does any drinking it is in public and not in private and in secret.
