Much has been written about the impact of the presence of a designated driver on patrons' consumption, but heretofore, its impact on the behaviour of the server has been virtually ignored. The goal of this paper, then, was to explore the potential impact of the presence of a designated driver on alcoholic beverage servers' self-reported willingness to knowingly serve an already intoxicated customer. chi(2) analysis of survey data collected from 938 licensed servers, in the state of Indiana, USA, was performed. Approximately 43% of the bartenders surveyed reported that they either would be or might be willing to over-serve an already intoxicated customer. Of those who answered the follow-up question as to under what conditions they would be willing to over-serve, almost 80% reported that they would do so if the patron were accompanied by a designated driver. The statistical significance of the relationship between these two variables (.000) raises the question of whether the Designated Driver Campaign has the latent function of enabling some servers to neutralize their responsibility for over-serving by disregarding other types of intoxication-related harm.
关于指定司机的存在对顾客饮酒量的影响，已有诸多著述，但迄今为止，其对服务员行为的影响却几乎被忽视。因此，本文的目的是探讨指定司机的存在对酒精饮料服务员自我报告的明知顾客已醉酒仍愿意提供服务的意愿的潜在影响。对从美国印第安纳州938名持牌服务员收集的调查数据进行了卡方分析。约43%接受调查的酒保表示，他们要么会要么可能会愿意向已经喝醉的顾客过度提供酒水。在那些回答后续问题，即在何种情况下愿意过度提供酒水的人中，近80%表示，如果顾客有指定司机陪同，他们就会这样做。这两个变量之间关系的统计显著性（.000）引发了一个问题，即指定司机活动是否具有潜在作用，使一些服务员能够通过无视其他类型与醉酒相关的危害来免除自己过度服务的责任。
