Study Notes

Alcohol Service Regulations

Serving alcohol to a pregnant woman is legal; denying service is considered discriminatory.
Legal obligations require servers to monitor guests’ sobriety and prevent overserving.

Handling Intoxicated Guests

If friends order drinks for an intoxicated guest, it's essential to notify the police, as it violates the law.
Cease service to all friends immediately and remove any alcohol from the table to prevent further issues.
Explain to the friends the legal ramifications of serving alcohol to an intoxicated individual and remove their drinks.
Always inquire about a designated driver to ensure safe transportation for all guests.

License Regulations for Servers

Asking a guest with a suspicious ID personal questions (e.g., weight, address) can lead to losing the license.
Validating IDs of individuals who are not minors is not required and could jeopardize a server's license.
It is essential to refuse service to a guest who appears intoxicated, as a refusal can still have legal implications if they are not visibly impaired.
Failing to check the ID of anyone who seems underage puts a server's license at risk.

ID Rechecking Protocol

An ID should be rechecked when a guest returns from the restroom or leaves and then returns to the establishment.
Every time a guest orders a drink, rechecking their ID is crucial to ensure compliance with age regulations.

Characteristics of a Valid ID

A valid ID must not be expired, helping to verify the guest's age accurately.
IDs should feature distinguishing elements, such as a ghost image, which aids in authenticating the document.
The correct license number is critical for proper identification verification.
