  4. What is the primary purpose of a 'house policy' regarding alcohol service?

    Answer: To establish consistent standards that reduce liability and protect guests

    House policies create consistent, documented standards that protect guests from harm and reduce the establishment's legal liability.

  5. If a server is unsure whether a patron is of legal drinking age, what is the safest course of action under TIPS guidelines?

    Answer: Refuse service until valid ID is presented

    TIPS guidelines recommend refusing service until the patron presents valid government-issued photo ID proving legal age.

    Answer: The establishment owner and its licensed staff
