Study Notes
Definitions and Concepts
- Obviously Intoxicated: Clear physical signs of intoxication detected in a person.
- Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC): A BAC of .08 impairs coordination and judgment; legal DUI limit for individuals over 21 in California.
- Responsible Beverage Service (RBS): Mandatory training for servers, required within 60 days of employment and recertification every 3 years.
Liability and Legal Implications
- Servers can be held liable for serving obviously intoxicated patrons, not just the licensee.
- Providing alcohol to anyone under 21 is a misdemeanor for servers, licensees, and customers.
Alcohol Server Responsibilities
- Servers must observe patrons for signs of obvious intoxication and adhere to house policies on responsible serving.
- Confiscating fake IDs is a server's duty; they must turn over the IDs to law enforcement by a certain deadline.
Identification Verification
- Acceptable Forms of ID: Government-issued IDs like passports are valid even without physical descriptions; military IDs do not require physical descriptions.
- The presence of alterations or smoothness of an ID can indicate fakeness.
Refusal of Service
- Clear, assertive communication is necessary when refusing service to intoxicated patrons.
- It is appropriate to refuse service if patrons request alcohol outside of operational hours or if they show signs of intoxication.
Harmful Effects and Alcohol Consumption
- Mixing alcohol with recreational or illegal drugs increases harmful effects.
- Binge drinking is characterized by rapid consumption of alcohol and can be moderated by eating food, which slows intoxication.
Policy and Management
- Establishments must have clear policies guiding employees in responsible alcohol service to mitigate risks and liabilities.
- Owners/licensees are responsible for creating these policies and ensuring compliance.
Alcohol-Related Statistics and Facts
- Domestic Violence: A common crime associated with alcohol abuse.
- Incident Logs: Important documentation for servers; should include any significant events like ID confiscation.
Promotional Guidelines
- Promotions such as "Ladies Night" are permissible, while other forms may lead to illegal activities or create a hostile environment.
Emergency and Supervisory Responsibilities
- ABC's T.R.A.C.E. program focuses on tracking underage alcohol access and related emergencies. Servers act as gatekeepers for community alcohol distribution.
General Knowledge and Miscellaneous
- Effective sobering up only occurs with time; coffee and food do not expedite this process.
- A 60-ounce pitcher of beer contains about 5 standard drinks, leading to important considerations in serving quantities to patrons.
