  1. A guest who has been cut off becomes angry and demands another drink. What should the server do FIRST?

    Answer: Stay calm, use a firm but respectful tone, and restate that no more alcohol will be served

    Remaining calm and firmly restating the refusal, without judgment or argument, is the recommended way to stop service.

  2. Which document check helps verify that a driver's license is genuine?

    Answer: Comparing its security features, photo, and expiration date against a current ID checking guide

    An ID checking guide shows each state's current security features, allowing servers to spot altered or fake licenses.

  3. A guest shows signs of impaired judgment and reduced coordination. Roughly what stage of intoxication is this?

    Answer: Beyond the early stage, meaning service should be stopped or strongly slowed

    Impaired judgment followed by loss of coordination indicates rising intoxication, and continued service risks over-serving.

  4. Why is it dangerous to let an intoxicated guest 'sleep it off' unattended in a back room?

    Answer: Their blood alcohol level can keep rising and lead to alcohol poisoning

    Alcohol already in the stomach continues to absorb after the last drink, so an unattended guest can slip into life-threatening alcohol poisoning.

  5. Which is the BEST way to slow a guest's rate of intoxication while they are still being served?

    Answer: Offer food and water and space out drink service

    Food slows alcohol absorption, water paces the guest, and slower service reduces total alcohol consumed per hour.

  6. A regular guest known to be 30 years old forgets their ID. The house policy says ID everyone who appears under 40. What should the server do?

    Answer: Follow house policy and refuse alcohol service without acceptable ID

    House ID policies must be applied consistently to every guest, with no exceptions for regulars.

  7. What should a manager do after an incident where a guest was refused service and left angrily?

    Answer: Document the incident in an incident log with the date, time, and actions taken

    A prompt, factual incident report protects the establishment by proving reasonable steps were taken.
