- Alcohol is defined as a liquid with over 0.5% alcohol by volume and acts as a toxic drug slowing the central nervous system.
Types of Alcoholic Beverages
- Alcoholic beverages include beer, wine, and distilled spirits (hard liquor).
Identification Requirements
- An alternative ID must consist of a descriptive piece and a supportive piece for verifying identity, alongside an OLCC statement of age card.
- Acceptable IDs include driver's licenses, photo ID cards, military IDs, and passports.
- Unacceptable forms of ID include college IDs, birth certificates, and any tampered IDs.
Blood Alcohol Content (BAC)
- BAC measures the percentage of alcohol in the bloodstream.
- A BAC of 0.08% indicates 8 parts of alcohol per 10,000 parts of blood, marking the legal limit for driving under the influence.
Binge Drinking and Intoxication
- Binge drinking is defined as consuming 5 or more drinks for men, or 4 for women within two hours.
- Intoxication refers to physical and mental impairment due to the consumption of alcohol or other drugs.
Legal Aspects
- The legal drinking age is 21 years.
- Oregon's Implied Consent Law means drivers consent to BAC testing, with penalties for refusal leading to a minimum one-year license loss.
Responsibilities and Interventions
- Servers have a legal and ethical responsibility to limit alcohol consumption, preventing minors from drinking and avoiding alcohol poisoning.
- Good Faith Effort involves either trying to remove a drink verbally or physically.
Incident Documentation
- An incident log must be maintained to document daily occurrences within licensed premises, kept for up to two years.
Effects of Alcohol
- Factors affecting BAC include gender, weight, body fat, overall health, and tolerance.
- Women typically achieve higher BACs due to having more body fat and less water than men.
State Regulations
- Alcohol sales are permitted from 7:00 AM to 2:30 AM.
- Servers must check IDs for anyone appearing younger than 26, with minors allowed in restricted areas under specific conditions (e.g., restroom access).
Aggressive Behavior Stages
- The four stages of aggressive behavior include anxiety, defensive reactions, physical aggression, and settling down.
- Recognizing these stages can help servers intervene appropriately before situations escalate.
Alcohol-Related Incidents
- In third-party liability lawsuits, the 1st party is the server, the 2nd party is the intoxicated individual, and the 3rd party is the victim.
- Approximately 31% of traffic-related deaths in the US involve alcohol.
Penalties for DUII
- First-time DUII convictions can lead to a one-year suspension without a hardship permit; repeat offenses incur longer waiting periods and harsher penalties.
Summary of Key Alcohol Facts
- It takes approximately one hour for the body to oxidize 90% of alcohol consumed, mainly done by the liver.
- Tolerance to alcohol can lead to consumers needing larger quantities for the same effect.
- Visible signs of intoxication are critical indicators for servers to assess their patrons effectively.
