Read the first 7 Regulatory Compliance & Legal Framework flashcards as text

  1. A patron presents a valid military ID showing they are 20 years old. What should a server do?

    Answer: Refuse service because they are under 21

    Military service does not override the federal minimum drinking age of 21; servers must refuse regardless of military status.

  2. Which of the following is typically required information on a compliant alcoholic beverage label under TTB regulations?

    Answer: The alcohol content by volume (ABV)

    TTB regulations mandate that alcohol content by volume appear on labels for most categories of alcoholic beverages.

  3. What legal concept allows a plaintiff injured by a drunk driver to sue the bar that served the driver?

    Answer: Third-party dram shop liability

    Third-party dram shop liability enables injured parties (not the intoxicated person) to bring civil claims against the establishment that over-served the driver.

  4. Under most state laws, which type of establishment is typically prohibited from selling alcohol for off-premises consumption without a separate license?

    Answer: Restaurants with an on-premises license only

    An on-premises license restricts alcohol sales to on-site consumption; a separate off-premises or package license is required to sell takeaway alcohol.

  5. What does 'BAC' stand for and why is it legally significant in alcohol service?

    Answer: Blood Alcohol Content — the measure used to determine legal intoxication

    BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) is the legal standard used by law enforcement and courts to measure intoxication, typically set at 0.08% for driving offenses.

  6. When does a liquor license violation typically become a criminal matter rather than just an administrative one?

    Answer: When the violation involves serving a minor or causes serious injury

    Serving alcohol to minors or causing serious harm through negligent service can escalate from administrative penalties to criminal charges for the server and owner.

  7. Which legal term describes a law that makes certain conduct automatically negligent if violated, without needing to prove the standard of care separately?

    Answer: Negligence per se

    Negligence per se applies when violating a statute (like serving a minor) is itself treated as proof of negligence in a civil lawsuit.
