  1. What is the primary goal of responsible alcohol service?

    Answer: To prevent intoxication, impaired driving, and alcohol-related harm

    The primary goal of responsible alcohol service is to prevent intoxication, impaired driving, and other alcohol-related harms while still providing a positive customer experience.

  2. What is 'standard drink' measurement used for in responsible service?

    Answer: To measure and track the amount of pure alcohol being consumed

    A standard drink measurement helps servers and customers understand how much pure alcohol is being consumed, which is essential for monitoring intoxication levels.

  3. In Canada, one standard drink contains approximately how many grams of pure alcohol?

    Answer: 13.6 grams

    In Canada, one standard drink contains approximately 13.6 grams (or 17.2 mL) of pure alcohol, which is equivalent to a 341 mL bottle of 5% beer, a 142 mL glass of 12% wine, or a 43 mL shot of 40% spirits.

  4. What is the best practice for monitoring a customer's alcohol consumption?

    Answer: Track the total number and type of drinks consumed, the time period, and observe behaviour changes

    Effective monitoring involves tracking all drinks consumed (not just those you served), the time frame, and watching for behavioural changes that may indicate intoxication.

  5. Why is it important to offer food to customers who are drinking alcohol?

    Answer: Food slows the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream

    Food, especially protein and fat-rich foods, slows the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream, helping to reduce the rate of intoxication. It does not eliminate alcohol already absorbed.

  6. What should a server do if they suspect a customer has had too much to drink before arriving at the establishment?

    Answer: Refuse to serve them alcohol as they are already showing signs of intoxication

    Servers have a legal obligation to refuse service to anyone who appears intoxicated, regardless of where they consumed alcohol. Serving an already intoxicated person is a violation of the AGLC Act.
