Question 1

Two guests at the bar begin shoving each other after several drinks. What should staff do FIRST?

Accepted Answer

Separate the parties verbally, alert the manager, and call police if it escalates

Answer

Staff should try to defuse conflict verbally and involve management, using police for situations they cannot safely control.

Question 2

A guest orders a 24-oz glass of regular 5% ABV beer. About how many standard drinks is this?

Accepted Answer

Two

Answer

A standard drink is 12 oz of regular beer, so a 24-oz pour equals about two standard drinks.

Question 3

Which situation is a legally acceptable reason to refuse alcohol service?

Accepted Answer

The guest appears intoxicated

Answer

Service must be refused to intoxicated or underage guests, but refusing based on protected characteristics is illegal discrimination.

Question 4

An intoxicated guest insists on driving home. Staff cannot convince them to take a ride. What should be done?

Accepted Answer

Try to delay the guest, get the vehicle description, and call the police if they drive off

Answer

Staff should attempt safe alternatives and, if the guest still drives, notify police with the vehicle description to prevent harm.

Question 5

Why can a guest on certain medications become impaired after only one drink?

Accepted Answer

Some drugs multiply alcohol's depressant effect on the central nervous system

Answer

Depressant medications interact with alcohol, intensifying impairment far beyond what the drink count alone predicts.
