Which of the following actions is NOT a recommended measure for servers?

  1. Measuring drinks accurately

  2. Cutting off clearly intoxicated guests

  3. Waiting for guests to ask for refills

  4. Encouraging rapid drinking games

The correct answer is: Encouraging rapid drinking games

Encouraging rapid drinking games is not a recommended measure for servers because it promotes irresponsible drinking behavior. In the context of responsible service and the promotion of safe drinking practices, servers are trained to ensure that guests consume alcohol in moderation. Rapid drinking games can lead to excessive alcohol consumption, increasing the risk of intoxication and potentially hazardous situations for both the guests and the establishment. On the other hand, accurately measuring drinks helps control the amount of alcohol served, which is essential for responsible service. Cutting off clearly intoxicated guests is crucial to maintaining a safe environment, and waiting for guests to ask for refills ensures that they are consuming alcohol at their own pace rather than being encouraged to drink more rapidly.
