In a bar, drinkers may go out and start to play drinking games, some of which involve the bar tender (although the bar tender may not be aware of this), so the responsible service of alcohol course teaches you how to deal with this. The following game is one you should be wary of: Beat the Bar Man,

1. The drinker approaches the bar and orders a shot drink (whisk(e)y, bourbon, vodka, etc., etc..).
2. The drinker pays for the drink with too much money (i.e. hand over a $5-bill for a $2 drink).
3. As the barman goes away to get change, the drinker shoots the shot.
4. When the barman returns with the change, go to step number 1.

The game ends in a number of possible ways:

• drinker falls over (Result: Bar wins).
• barman punches drinker’s lights out (Result: Draw).
• drinker gets thrown out (Result: Draw).
• bar closes (Result: Drinker wins).

This kind of game being played can result in the bar tender becoming agitated or the drinker getting un-necessarily drunk. RSA QLD (and any state) shows you how to deal with these kinds of drinkers in the online course.
