- Alcohol Test Flashcards

A guest shows an expired driver's license with a birth date proving they are 30. The server should:

Answer: Refuse it and ask for a valid, unexpired ID

An expired ID is not a valid form of identification and must be refused regardless of the birth date shown.

Which drink contains the MOST alcohol?

Answer: A cocktail with 3 oz of 80-proof liquor

Three ounces of 80-proof spirits equals two standard drinks, more than any of the other options.

A guest becomes overly friendly, loud, and starts buying rounds for strangers. This most likely indicates:

Answer: Stage one intoxication — lowered inhibitions

Loud, uninhibited, overly social behavior is a classic early sign that alcohol is lowering inhibitions.

What should a server do immediately after refusing alcohol service to a guest?

Answer: Document the incident and inform the manager on duty

Documenting the refusal and alerting management protects the server and establishment if the incident is questioned later.

Two guests share a pitcher of margaritas, and one shows signs of intoxication while the other seems fine. The server should:

Answer: Refuse the intoxicated guest but may continue serving the sober guest while monitoring closely

Service is refused per guest, but the server must watch that alcohol is not passed to the intoxicated person.

Which medication-related situation is a red flag for serving alcohol?

Answer: A guest mentions they are taking medication that interacts with alcohol

Alcohol can intensify or dangerously interact with many medications, so such guests warrant extra caution and slower service.

A minor at a private banquet says his parents allow him to drink at home. In an establishment, the server should:

Answer: Refuse service because on-premise sales to minors are illegal regardless of parental consent

Parental permission at home does not authorize an establishment to serve alcohol to a minor.
