Question 4

What is the importance of food service in responsible alcohol service?

Accepted Answer

Food slows alcohol absorption and provides a reason for patrons to visit beyond drinking

Answer

Food slows the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream and promotes a drinking environment focused on dining and socializing rather than solely on alcohol consumption.

What standard drink measurements should servers know for responsible service?

12 oz beer at 5% ABV, 5 oz wine at 12% ABV, and 1.5 oz spirits at 40% ABV all equal one standard drink
