- Designate
servers and train them. No self-serve alcohol.
- Create
and maintain a system for checking age identification and minimizing underage
drinking
Control access to and quantity of alcohol to guests. - Don't
serve intoxicated persons.
- Don't
encourage drinking games. They make it easy to drink too much. Play social games
(it sounds corny, but if relaxing, hanging out with friends, and meeting new people
is the benefit you're after, life is not better when you or your friends are drunk,
vomiting, passed out, or doing things they later regret).
- Serve
plenty of food & non-alcoholic drinks. Not everyone drinks alcohol.
- Pace
yourself. Have no more than 1 alcoholic beverage per hour. Switch between non-alcoholic
& alcoholic beverages.
- Don't
combine alcohol & other drugs. It can lead unexpected & dangerous effects.
- Regardless
of cup size, serve standard drink quantities to help people pace themselves.
- Know
the signs of alcohol
toxicity and what to do.
- Don't
charge admission fees. Risk increases as cash held at door increases. You'll also
need a business license and, if serving alcohol, a permit to sell alcohol. Serve
plenty of food. Ask guests to bring something to share.
