Read the first 6 Signs of Intoxication flashcards as text

  1. Which of the following is a behavioural sign of intoxication?

    Answer: Becoming increasingly loud and boisterous

    Becoming increasingly loud and boisterous is a common behavioural sign of intoxication. Alcohol reduces inhibitions, often causing patrons to become louder and more animated than usual.

  2. What is a common physical sign of intoxication?

    Answer: Slurred speech

    Slurred speech is one of the most recognizable physical signs of intoxication. Alcohol affects the motor control areas of the brain, making it difficult to articulate words clearly.

  3. Why is it important for servers to monitor the number of drinks a patron consumes?

    Answer: To assess their level of intoxication and determine when to slow or stop service

    Monitoring drink counts helps servers assess a patron's level of intoxication and make informed decisions about whether to continue service, slow service, or cut off service.

  4. Which factor does NOT affect how quickly a person becomes intoxicated?

    Answer: The colour of their clothing

    The colour of a person's clothing has no effect on their rate of intoxication. Factors that do affect intoxication rate include body weight, food consumption, drink strength, and individual tolerance.

  5. What does BAC stand for in the context of alcohol service?

    Answer: Blood Alcohol Concentration

    BAC stands for Blood Alcohol Concentration, which measures the amount of alcohol present in a person's bloodstream as a percentage. It is the standard measure of intoxication.

  6. At what BAC level is a person considered legally impaired for driving in BC?

    Answer: 0.08%

    In BC, a BAC of 0.08% or above is the criminal code threshold for impaired driving. However, BC also has administrative penalties starting at 0.05% BAC.
