The study is based on standardized interviews with 64 male and female bartenders in 43 bars. Findings indicate that regardless of sex, bartenders are sensitive to their own and their customers' drinking patterns and behavior, and are reliable reporters of the phenomenon. They are sensitive to the causes of problem drinking. Despite bar policies they can and do exercise considerable discretion in dealing with customer behavior associated with problem drinking. They do intervene to prevent drunk driving. A majority are positive about taking courses in alcohol education with the aim of assisting their customers. Bartenders, then, are prime candidates for assisting in the large societal task of reducing the harmful consequences of alcohol abuse.
该研究基于对43家酒吧中64名男女调酒师的标准化访谈。研究结果表明，无论性别如何，调酒师都对自己和顾客的饮酒模式及行为敏感，并且是该现象可靠的报告者。他们对饮酒问题的成因很敏感。尽管有酒吧政策，但他们在处理与饮酒问题相关的顾客行为时能够且确实有相当大的自由裁量权。他们会进行干预以防止酒驾。大多数人对参加酒精教育课程持积极态度，目的是帮助他们的顾客。因此，调酒师是协助完成减少酒精滥用有害后果这项重大社会任务的主要人选。
