ServSafe Alcohol Test - Primary and Advanced (4) 3

Question 1

A guest hands the server a vertical ID that indicates the guest is now 22 years old. What should the server do?

Accepted Answer

Accept it if the math shows the guest is over 21

Answer

A vertical ID is valid if it is genuine and the date of birth shows the guest is of legal age, though some states restrict them, so servers must know local law.

Question 2

Which behavior is an early sign that a guest is being relaxed by alcohol rather than severely intoxicated?

Accepted Answer

Becoming more talkative and sociable

Answer

Lowered inhibitions, such as becoming more talkative or overly friendly, are the first observable effects of alcohol.

Question 3

A guest orders a drink made with 1.5 oz of 80-proof vodka. How many standard drinks is this?

Accepted Answer

One

Answer

One standard drink equals 1.5 oz of 80-proof (40% ABV) spirits, 5 oz of wine, or 12 oz of regular beer.

Question 4

Which factor causes alcohol to affect a guest MORE quickly?

Accepted Answer

Drinking on an empty stomach

Answer

Without food in the stomach, alcohol passes into the small intestine and bloodstream much faster.

Question 5

A server suspects a guest at a table is passing drinks to an underage companion. What is the BEST response?

Accepted Answer

Ask the underage guest for ID and stop serving the buyer if the transfer is confirmed

Answer

Serving a guest who supplies alcohol to a minor is an illegal third-party sale, so the server must verify age and cut off the buyer if it continues.
