    Answer: About 12%

    Table wine typically contains about 12% alcohol by volume.

  4. Which factor does NOT affect how quickly a patron becomes intoxicated?

    Answer: The color of the drink glass

    Glass color has no effect on absorption; body weight, food, and drinking rate all do.

  5. A 1.5-ounce shot of 80-proof liquor contains approximately what percentage of alcohol?

    Answer: About 40%

    Proof is twice the alcohol percentage, so 80-proof equals about 40% alcohol.

  6. Why can a fortified wine like port intoxicate a patron faster than table wine?

    Answer: It has added distilled spirits raising its alcohol content

    Fortified wines have distilled spirits added, increasing their alcohol content above regular table wine.

  7. Which non-alcoholic step best helps slow a patron's intoxication during service?

    Answer: Offering water and food between drinks

    Providing water and food slows alcohol absorption and helps keep patrons safer.
