Alcohol Safety

Category - Difficult Situations

Two men come up to the bar and order two beers apiece, laughing and saying they are going to “double-fist” their drinks. What should you do here?
  1. Get the manager and ask his or her opinion.
  2. Agree to only serve them the weakest beer you have on tap.
  3. Politely tell them that they can have their second ones when they have finished with the first.
  4. Refuse to serve them.
Explanation
Answer: C - When it comes to guests who want to “double-fist” their drinks, you should politely but straightforwardly tell them you can only serve them one drink at a time.

When people are given more than one drink at a time, they consume alcohol at a faster rate than when they have to wait in between drinks. To slow the rate of intoxication and therefore create a safer environment for your customers, you should always serve them only one drink at a time. This is especially true with a customer who expresses interest in “double-fisting,” since it often means she or she is intentionally looking to get drunk.
