How to Serve Alcohol Responsibly

How to serve alcohol responsibly.

Serving alcohol responsibly is easy! When serving alcoholic beverages, make sure everyone in your party has had a chance to order an appropriate drink before pouring the first. Be honest with them so they know what will be served, and don't serve anything other than beer or wine unless you're sure there are no other preferences for anyone attending (and even then consider offering alternatives).

You can learn a lot about your guests' different levels of intoxication by simply observing physical and behavioral changes. Examples include:

• Being excessively friendly, unfriendly, depressed, or silent
• Using a bad language or raising one's voice
• Drinking more quickly or switching to drinking stronger or in greater quantity major
• Talking or moving slowly
• Staggering, stumbling or bumping into objects

Count. Some guests may not show any physical or behavioral signs of intoxication, so counting how many glasses they drink, can help track their consumption. One consumption contains approximately the same amount of alcohol and should be counted as one drink:

1 drink = 5 ounces of wine; 12 ounces of beer; 1½ ounces of 80 proof liquor; 1 ounce of 100°

Avoid pouring too abundantly

Pouring too much liquor at a time makes it difficult for guests to accurately monitor their consumption. Follow the administration procedures for each drink perfectly, to ensure that each drink contains the intended amount of alcohol. If you allow free pouring in your establishment, periodically verify accuracy using a spill test.

Offer food. This is one of the most important things you can do to serve alcohol responsibly and prevent intoxication. Food helps keep alcohol in the stomach, slowing the rate of alcohol absorption, and preventing it from reaching the small intestine, where most of it is absorbed into the bloodstream. The best food products to achieve this are those rich in fat and/or protein.These items are not easily digestible, which slows the movement of alcohol into the small intestine.

Give your guests something they can't refuse, whether it's a juicy burger or an extra order of fries with ranch dressing!

The most important thing you could do to prevent intoxication and ensure guest satisfaction would be to offer them delicious appetizers before starting drinking sessions; this will help avoid over-drinking because their stomach has been filled sooner than expected (think of all those midnight snacks).

Offer water. Drinking alcohol can lead to dehydration, making guests thirsty and potentially inclined to consume more alcohol than they normally would. You can help rehydration by offering water with your drinks and refilling your glasses with water often. This will help keep the guest hydrated and may reduce alcohol consumption.
