  1. Which of the following is a common physical sign that a guest may be intoxicated and should not be served more alcohol?

    Answer: Slurred speech and bloodshot eyes

    Slurred speech and bloodshot eyes are well-recognized signs of intoxication. Responsible alcohol servers must watch for these cues to prevent over-service and reduce liability.

  2. Under dram shop laws, who can be held legally liable if an intoxicated guest causes harm after leaving an establishment?

    Answer: Both the server and the establishment

    Dram shop laws hold both the server and the establishment liable if they served alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person who then caused harm to themselves or others.

  3. What action should a server take first when a guest shows signs of intoxication?

    Answer: Stop serving alcohol and offer food or water

    The first step is to stop serving alcohol and offer non-alcoholic alternatives like food or water. This slows alcohol absorption and demonstrates a duty of care before escalating to other measures.

  4. Which of the following is NOT a valid form of ID that a server may accept to verify a customer's age?

    Answer: College or university student ID

    A college student ID is not a government-issued document and can be easily altered or forged. Only government-issued IDs such as a driver's license, military ID, or passport are considered acceptable for age verification.

  5. What does the term 'primary' refer to in the context of Primary and Advanced alcohol service certification?

    Answer: The foundational level of training for all alcohol servers and sellers

    The 'Primary' level of ServSafe Alcohol certification covers the foundational knowledge required for anyone who serves or sells alcohol, including recognizing signs of intoxication and checking IDs.

  6. When a server suspects a guest has had too much to drink and may be driving, what is the BEST course of action?

    Answer: Offer to call a taxi, rideshare, or contact a sober companion for the guest

    Offering alternative transportation such as a taxi or rideshare is the responsible action. Coffee does not reduce BAC; only time does. The server has a duty of care that extends to preventing the guest from driving intoxicated.
