How can servers help prevent alcohol-related incidents?

Recognizing signs of intoxication early is crucial in preventing alcohol-related incidents. When servers are trained to identify behaviors indicating that a customer may be becoming intoxicated, they can intervene appropriately to prevent over-serving. This might include slowing down service, refusing service to a guest who is visibly intoxicated, or suggesting food and non-alcoholic beverage options. By being proactive in monitoring and assessing customers’ sobriety, servers help ensure a safer environment for everyone and reduce the likelihood of issues such as fights, accidents, or excessive intoxication leading to health crises. It underscores the responsibility that servers have in promoting safe alcohol consumption and maintaining the wellbeing of their patrons.
