Despite alcohol server training programs and legal liability aimed at controlling intoxication, server intervention appears to be rare. Given the difficulty in assessing intoxication, it can be assumed that improvement in assessment skills would increase the likelihood of intervention. Unfortunately, little is known regarding practices servers use to identify intoxication. In order to build a more informed base for policy formation and server training, the focus of this inquiry was to examine practices used by servers to assess intoxication. The analysis was based upon questionnaires mailed to a random probability sample of licensed servers from one state (N = 822). Indicators found to be most important were examined in relation to a variety of occupational characteristics. Implications for training curricula, policy formation, and future research are discussed.
尽管有旨在控制醉酒的酒精饮料服务人员培训项目和法律责任，但服务人员进行干预的情况似乎很少见。鉴于评估醉酒程度存在困难，可以假定评估技能的提高会增加干预的可能性。不幸的是，对于服务人员用来识别醉酒的做法知之甚少。为了为政策制定和服务人员培训建立更充分的依据，本次调查的重点是研究服务人员用于评估醉酒的做法。该分析基于向一个州的持牌服务人员随机概率样本邮寄的调查问卷（N = 822）。针对各种职业特征，研究了被认为最重要的指标。讨论了对培训课程、政策制定和未来研究的启示。
