✍️ Sample PROSERVE Questions & Answers
1. What is the proper procedure for handling a patron's car keys when they are too intoxicated to drive?
Servers should offer to hold keys voluntarily and help arrange a taxi, ride-share, or designated driver. Forcibly taking someone's keys is not recommended as it could lead to confrontation.
2. What is the responsibility of a server when a customer's ID shows they just turned the legal drinking age today?
If a customer's ID shows their 18th birthday is today, they have reached the legal drinking age and may be served alcohol. The server should verify the ID normally and monitor consumption as with any other patron.
3. What is the maximum fine an individual can face for a first offence under the AGLC Act?
Under the AGLC Act, individuals can face fines up to $100,000 for a first offence, reflecting the seriousness with which Alberta treats liquor law violations.
4. Is a digital copy of an ID (photo on a phone) acceptable for age verification in Alberta?
Digital copies or photos of ID on a phone are generally not accepted for age verification in Alberta. The original physical document is required as digital copies can be easily altered or belong to someone else.
5. Under the AGLC Act, what is the legal drinking age in Alberta?
Alberta's legal drinking age is 18, making it one of the provinces with the lowest legal drinking age in Canada alongside Manitoba and Quebec.
6. Why is it important to offer food to customers who are drinking alcohol?
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.
