Responsible Beverage Training

Responsible beverage service (RBS) training programs give owners, managers, and staff of establishments that serve alcohol knowledge and skills to help them serve alcohol responsibly and fulfill the legal requirements of alcohol service. Training programs for managers and owners most often provide guidance on implementation of service policies and practices. Training programs for servers focus on knowledge and skills that enhance their ability to prevent excessive alcohol consumption among patrons and minimize harms from excessive drinking that has already occurred. Server training may address: • Checking IDs • Service practices that reduce the likelihood of excessive consumption • Identifying and responding to early signs of excessive consumption (e.g., rapid consumption) • Identifying intoxicated patrons and refusing service to them • Intervening to prevent intoxicated patrons from driving.
