The Responsible Service of Alcohol Course – Don’t Forget Basics!

Back To the Basics – responsible service of alcohol is very important and sometimes you have to go back to the basics, both in serving drinks and serving responsibly. It is necessary to know the basics of serving properly, one of which is observing body language. You need to be able to observe people and see if they are showing signs of drunkenness.  If you see this sort of thing then you need to be able to cut someone off from their drinks supply. While you may be fully focused on your job, it could be rather easy to forget to observe body language, which  is the basics of serving at a bar. If you are serving in a crowded bar and you can’t keep track of patrons, then observe the ones that are ordering drinks and especially their voice. This will help you keep track of those people who are drinking a lot, and then you can save them from potential harm such as driving drunk and getting into a fight – the responsible service of alcohol course teaches that this is first priority. In addition, serving basic drinks can be the life blood of your bar, so don’t forget these basics!
