Behavioral Cues
- Key indicators to assess if guests are nearing or exhibiting signs of intoxication.
- Intoxication cues include changes in behavior due to alcohol intake, becoming more apparent as consumption increases.
Basic Behavioral Cues of Intoxication
- Inhibitions: Loss of inhibitions leads to increased relaxation and mood swings.
- Judgment: Impaired judgment may result in socially unacceptable behaviors and poor decision-making, such as thinking it's safe to drive.
- Slow Reactions: Delay in cognitive processing can lead to forgetfulness or difficulty following conversations.
- Loss of Coordination: Manifested through stumbling, difficulty handling utensils, or fumbled transactions.
Intoxication Rate Factors
- Several factors impact how quickly an individual may exhibit signs of intoxication.
Key Intoxication Rate Factors
- Size: Larger individuals may handle alcohol better, though increased body fat can hinder absorption.
- Gender: Generally, women become intoxicated faster than men due to smaller body size and higher body fat percentage.
- Rate of Consumption: Faster drinking leads to quicker intoxication.
- Strength of the Drink: Straight drinks are absorbed more rapidly; carbonated mixers can increase absorption rates.
Alcohol Content Examples
- 12 oz (355 ml) of 5% ABV beer
- 5 oz (148 ml) of 12% ABV wine
- 1 oz (30 ml) of 100-proof liquor
