Washington MAST (Mandatory Alcohol Server Training) Practice Exam

Allowing customers to buy drinks for others poses the risk of unintentionally facilitating the service of alcohol to intoxicated individuals. When patrons can purchase drinks for one another, it becomes difficult for servers to monitor the alcohol consumption of all individuals involved. This can result in some guests receiving more drinks than they should, particularly if they are already intoxicated. This practice can undermine efforts to promote responsible drinking and can lead to situations where individuals might be overserved, increasing the likelihood of harmful behaviors or incidents related to excessive alcohol consumption. Responsible alcohol service is crucial for maintaining a safe environment, and measures should be in place to prevent any scenario that could lead to serving intoxicated individuals.
