- 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).

- Approximately 31% of traffic-related deaths in the US involve alcohol.

- 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.
