  1. A guest presents a vertical (portrait-style) driver's license. What does this most likely indicate?

    Answer: The license holder is under 21

    Most U.S. states issue vertical driver's licenses to individuals under 21 to help servers easily identify minors.

  2. Under dram shop liability laws, an alcohol server can be held legally responsible if:

    Answer: A visibly intoxicated guest causes harm after leaving the establishment

    Dram shop laws hold establishments liable for harm caused by intoxicated guests who were served alcohol after showing visible signs of intoxication.

  3. Which of the following is a reliable method for estimating how intoxicated a guest may be?

    Answer: Counting the number of standard drinks served and time elapsed

    Tracking the number of standard drinks served and time elapsed helps estimate BAC more reliably than self-reporting by the guest.

  4. A customer asks you to hold their car keys and promises to call a cab. What is the BEST next step?

    Answer: Accept the keys and help arrange safe transportation

    Accepting keys and assisting with safe transportation is an appropriate intervention that protects the guest and the public.

  5. Which type of ID is generally NOT acceptable as proof of age for alcohol purchases?

    Answer: Social Security card

    A Social Security card does not contain a photo or date of birth and is not an acceptable form of age verification for alcohol sales.

  6. A pregnant guest orders an alcoholic beverage. What should a server do?

    Answer: Serve the alcohol since it is the guest's legal right as an adult

    Servers are not legally authorized to refuse service to pregnant adults; alcohol service is a legal right for any adult who is not visibly intoxicated.

  7. What does the term 'third-party liability' mean in the context of alcohol service?

    Answer: The legal responsibility to persons injured by an intoxicated guest who was over-served

    Third-party liability means the establishment can be sued by individuals harmed by an intoxicated person the establishment over-served.
