Question 6

Under RAMP training, why is food availability considered an important component of responsible alcohol service?

Accepted Answer

Food absorbs alcohol in the stomach and slows its entry into the bloodstream, reducing the rate of intoxication

Eating after drinking reverses the effects of alcohol already absorbed

Answer

Food makes customers feel more comfortable spending money on alcohol

Answer

Offering food is a legal requirement in Pennsylvania for any establishment serving alcohol

Answer

Serve the table but avoid serving any more alcoholic drinks

Answer

Ask a customer at the table to relay drink orders to the certified coworker
