A standard drink in the U.S. contains approximately 0.6 fluid ounces (14 grams) of pure alcohol, regardless of the beverage type or serving size.
Under the ServSafe Alcohol program, which of the following is considered a 'power hour'?
Answer: A promotion offering unlimited drinks for a set time period
A 'power hour' is an all-you-can-drink promotion that encourages rapid alcohol consumption and is considered a high-risk practice.
A designated driver in a group indicates they will not be drinking. What should a responsible server do?
Answer: Offer the designated driver complimentary non-alcoholic beverages
Offering non-alcoholic beverages to designated drivers is a recommended practice that supports responsible decision-making and public safety.
A server observes a sober-looking guest suddenly slurring words after two drinks. What is the most likely explanation?
Answer: The guest may have taken medication that interacts with alcohol
Certain medications can intensify the effects of alcohol dramatically, causing rapid and unexpected intoxication even after a small number of drinks.
Which of the following actions by a server could be considered 'service creep'?
Answer: Automatically refilling a guest's drink without being asked
Service creep occurs when a server refills or delivers drinks without the guest explicitly requesting them, which can lead to over-service and increased intoxication.
After refusing alcohol service to a guest, the manager overrides the decision and orders the server to serve the guest. What should the server do?
Answer: Refuse to serve and follow responsible service guidelines, even if overruled by management
Servers have an independent duty to refuse service to visibly intoxicated guests; a manager's override does not remove the server's personal legal liability.
Which of the following best describes the 'two-hour rule' used in ServSafe Alcohol training?
Answer: The body metabolizes approximately one standard drink per hour, so guests need two hours after their last drink to sober up before driving
The body metabolizes roughly one standard drink per hour, meaning at least one to two hours per drink are needed before a guest can safely drive.
