  1. What is a primary responsibility of a server when an intoxicated patron states they plan to drive home?

    Answer: Offer to arrange alternative transportation for the patron

    Offering alternative transportation is a proactive and legal step that fulfills a server's duty of care to prevent patrons from driving while impaired.

  2. Which of the following is the safest transportation option to arrange for an intoxicated patron?

    Answer: Calling a licensed taxi or rideshare service for the patron

    Calling a licensed taxi or rideshare completely removes the impaired driving risk by providing a sober, professional driver.

  3. What is a designated driver program?

    Answer: An arrangement where one person in a group abstains from alcohol to safely drive the others

    A designated driver program works by having one member of a group voluntarily stay sober to drive the others home safely.

  4. How can an establishment most effectively encourage patrons to use a designated driver?

    Answer: By offering free or discounted non-alcoholic drinks to designated drivers

    Providing incentives like complimentary non-alcoholic beverages rewards the designated driver and promotes the practice throughout the group.

  5. If an intoxicated patron insists on driving despite a server's concerns, what should the server do FIRST?

    Answer: Attempt to delay the patron inside and immediately notify management

    Delaying the patron and notifying management allows time for a more senior response and keeps the situation calm before escalating to emergency services if needed.

  6. Which of the following actions is legally appropriate for a server trying to prevent an intoxicated patron from driving?

    Answer: Calling 911 to report a potential impaired driver

    Calling 911 is a legal, appropriate step that notifies authorities; physical interference with the patron or vehicle could expose the server to legal liability.

  7. Why is it valuable for servers and establishments to maintain a list of local taxi and rideshare contact information?

    Answer: To quickly arrange safe transportation for patrons who should not drive

    Having transportation contacts readily available allows servers to act quickly when a patron needs a safe ride home, fulfilling their duty of care efficiently.
