A keg is something that is pretty straightforward and easy to use. But if you are using your keg wrong then you are not getting the best out of it as the beer that you poor will simply not be the best quality! Check out the video below to see how you should be pouring beer from a keg. Remember though, if using a keg where you work, still adhere to the RSA Course rules on serving customers, no matter how good of a beer you pour.
If you pour the right beer, then your bar will be a favourite and people will want to come back, so get your RSA Certificate so that you can start to work in a bar and have fun pouring.
The responsible service of alcohol course teaches you that it is important to know what the effects of alcohol exposure on a mass level is. The effects of alcohol, though, do vary based on gender, age, mental health, drug use and existing medical conditions. These different conditions vary the effects of alcohol and vary how harshly you are effected by it, especially if you go beyond the recommended drinks per day, which is shown in the responsible service of alcohol course. Government guidelines state that you should not have more than 2 beers per day to reduce chances of alcohol related disease, and on a single occasion, you should not have more than 4 drinks on a single occasion to reduce chances of alcohol related accidents.
What Health Effects Are There?
The risk of health related effects from alcohol is greatly increased if you have a long history of drinking as responsible service of alcohol online teaches, so basically, if you drink a lot you have a much greater chance of alcohol related health effects. But the effects are that you could increase the risk of brain damage, heart disease, high blood pressure and different types of cancers. But there are many health effecting things that can be caused by drinking, such as car accidents, violence, and accidents in general (not like spilling your beer).
Responsible Service of Alcohol Course – What is a standard drink?
A standard drink, is an alcoholic drink that contains 10 grams of pure alcohol, but this is often easy to lose track of because there are no standard drinking cups within Australia. So if you are drinking alcohol you have to know exactly how much alcohol there is per 100ml in order to work out how many drinks you have had. If you mess this up then they could end up driving home while over the limit, and not even know it. Every labeled drink container does tell you how many standard drinks it contains though, so that it is easier for you to work it out. In some cases when it s a slow night you may even be able to count how many standard drinks a patron has had. Making sure that you use the right measures when you make up spirits etc is very important. If someone thinks they are getting a single nip but you give them a double, then they will count incorrectly and may harm themselves or others.
The RSA course teaches you that alcoholism is no joke and it shows you how to deal with those who are affected by it, as they will be coming to a bar to fuel this addiction. Thus it can be your responsibility to help these people who are drinking too much alcohol too often! Check out these links to websites about alcoholism and it’s effects!
Alcoholism can affect anyone and if you work in a bar then you could help stop this issue. The RSA Course teaches you that the best thing to do when working behind a bar and notice an issue, and the course will also teach you what to do in this situation.
What Does The RSA Course Want Me to do If I’ve Served Too Much?
If you have served too much to a particular person because they wanted you to, and they are stumbling and too drunk, the RSA course teaches you that there are several things you can do. So don’t worry, you are not alone. If you find yourself in this situation it means that you have already obtained your RSA certificate because you are working in a bar or restaurant, so you will have been trained in what to do when faced with this situation. There are several courses of action that you can take so that the patron returns home safely and does not find himself/herself in any more danger than he is already in
The RSA Course Suggests!
Calling Them A Cab
Calling a drunk patron a cab is probably the easiest option to ensure that they get home safely without any injury being caused under your watch. But sometimes patrons don’t want to go home because they are having such a good time in their drunken state of mind. So you need to try and convince them that they should go home, as being too drunk can be dangerous and they could harm themselves. I realize that it can often be hard to communicate and reason with someone who is inebriated, but you should always remember a few key conversation keys:
Don’t ever get angry or frustrated at them
Don’t raise your voice at them
Never force them to do anything – that will end badly!
The RSA Course teaches that if you have served someone too much to drink, and they will not go home – then your only other option is to keep them around and in your sight. This way you can monitor their drinking so that they do not leave the bar and go drink somewhere else. By doing this, you can also monitor what they are doing and you can stop them from causing any violence, because not only will that cause them harm, but it will also mean that you’re bar could get severely damaged.
This kind of drinker is bad news for your bar, and is bad news for the people in your bar. So apart from keeping them around or calling them a cab home, you could ask their friends to keep them under control as suggested in the RSA course. It’s not desirable to find yourself in this situation but if you do, you should know what to do thanks to the RSA Course. If you don’t already have your certificate and want to work in a bar or restaurant then get online and start your RSA Course today!

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!

Your RSA Certificate! And Serving Alcohol In A Bar
When In Doubt, Vodka can be the best option, but it is highly alcoholic and is easy to over serve, and having your RSA certificate means you know how to avoid this. When you get an indecisive customer, suggest something palatable and smooth. Vodka drinks are easy and well received. The RSA course can give you the tools to serve correctly behind a bar, and can teach you what to do when you notice a patron who has been drinking too much. It is your duty to protect people drinking when you are the one serving them the drinks, and you need to have your RSA certificate. So, yes, Vodka can be a good drink to serve to anyone who is indecisive, but you need to be aware of exactly what you are giving them, as you’re responsible for their intake. You also need to tell them what you are serving them; if you are giving them vodka, tell them how much. If it is something else like Jagermeister, then still tell them how much you are giving them in the way of standard drinks or they may not understand it.
