RAMP Identifying Intoxication 3

Question 1

Under RAMP training, which factor does NOT slow alcohol absorption into the bloodstream?

Accepted Answer

Drinking carbonated mixers with alcohol

Answer

Carbonated mixers actually speed up alcohol absorption by opening the pyloric valve, while food, pacing, and eating beforehand slow absorption.

Question 2

A server notices a customer has been nursing the same beer for 45 minutes but is showing signs of impaired coordination. What is the most likely explanation?

Accepted Answer

The customer was already intoxicated before arriving at the establishment

Answer

RAMP training emphasizes that servers must consider that guests may have consumed alcohol elsewhere before arriving, making prior intoxication a key consideration.

Question 3

Which observation technique is recommended by RAMP for monitoring a guest's level of intoxication over time?

Accepted Answer

Establishing a behavioral baseline early in the visit and tracking changes

Answer

RAMP recommends establishing a behavioral baseline when the guest arrives sober and comparing subsequent behavior against that baseline.

Question 4

A 120-pound person and a 200-pound person each drink two beers in one hour. Which statement about their BAC is most accurate?

Accepted Answer

The lighter person will have a higher BAC due to less body mass to dilute the alcohol

Answer

Body weight directly affects BAC because a larger body mass dilutes alcohol across a greater volume of blood and body water.

Question 5

Which of the following is an example of a 'cognitive' sign of intoxication, as opposed to a physical sign?

Accepted Answer

Difficulty making change or following simple instructions

Answer

Cognitive signs involve impaired thinking and reasoning, such as confusion, difficulty with math, or trouble following conversations.
