Question 1

A taproom serves a 16-fluid-ounce beer at 8% ABV. For monitoring purposes, one standard drink is 0.6 fluid ounce of pure alcohol. The guest finishes it quickly and asks for another. How should the server treat the first beer when deciding whether to continue service?

Accepted Answer

Treat it as about 2.1 standard drinks and reassess the guest before another round

Answer

Treat it as one standard drink because it came in one glass

Answer

Treat it as 1.28 standard drinks-the pure-alcohol total-and serve the next beer without further reassessment

Answer

Treat it as eight standard drinks because the label shows 8% ABV

Question 2

A 26-year-old patron says a personal breath tester reads 0.06 and insists that service must continue because Washington's adult per se DUI level is 0.08. The patron is fumbling payment, repeating questions, and reacting slowly. How should that claim be evaluated?

Accepted Answer

The 0.08 level is a driving threshold, not a service target; the observed signs support stopping service

Answer

Because 0.06 is below the adult per se threshold, service must continue unless law enforcement orders otherwise

Answer

Only law enforcement may decide whether a patron is apparently intoxicated

Answer

A reading below 0.08 proves the patron may safely drive after one more drink

Question 3

After several drinks, a patron tells staff he also took prescription oxycodone. Minutes later he cannot be awakened and his breathing is slow with long pauses. Which response takes priority?

Accepted Answer

Call 911, monitor breathing, and use recovery positioning or CPR as indicated

Answer

Have a sober friend drive him to an urgent-care clinic after the bill is settled

Answer

Give coffee and keep him walking to counter the combined sedative effects

Answer

Let him rest on his back in a booth while a manager checks him periodically

Question 4

At a Seattle restaurant, a 23-year-old visitor presents an unexpired Ontario driver's licence showing a photograph, date of birth, and signature. The photograph matches the presenter and the card appears genuine. How should staff treat this document?

Accepted Answer

The licence is an acceptable form of ID if its details and security features check out

Answer

A passport is also required because an out-of-country provincial driver's licence cannot be used by itself

Answer

Only a Washington-issued driver licence or identicard may be accepted

Answer

The card is acceptable only when paired with the visitor's birth certificate

Question 5

On September 4, 2026, a customer presents a genuine, unexpired ID with a birth date of October 12, 2005. The photo matches and no alteration is visible. What is the correct service decision?

Accepted Answer

Refuse alcohol because the customer is still 20 on the transaction date

Answer

Accept the ID because 2026 minus 2005 equals 21

Answer

Serve beer or wine, but not spirits, until the customer reaches the twenty-first birthday

Answer

Use a certification card to waive the remaining age difference

Question 6

An ID scanner returns "valid," but the photograph is a poor match and the presenter cannot state the ZIP code printed on the card. No house policy authorizes staff to seize suspected false IDs. The strongest response is to:

Accepted Answer

Refuse the sale, notify a manager, and follow the premises' incident procedure

Answer

Complete the sale because the electronic scan overrides visual concerns

Answer

Confiscate the card and physically prevent the presenter from leaving

Answer

Accept a signed certification card without resolving whether the ID belongs to the presenter

Question 7

During dinner on licensed premises, a parent buys wine and pours some into a glass for a 19-year-old child. The parent says Washington law allows drinking in a parent's presence. How should the server respond?

Accepted Answer

Stop the transfer and consumption, remove the wine when safe, and notify management

Answer

Allow it because the statutory parent-presence exception applies anywhere the parent personally bought the wine

Answer

Allow one glass only if food is being served with the wine

Answer

Ask the parent to sign a certification card before the child drinks

Question 8

A 20-year-old Class 13 permit holder is working in a restaurant dining room that is open to guests under 21. A supervisor age 21 or older is overseeing liquor sales. Which assignment is lawful?

Accepted Answer

Open a bottle of wine and pour it into a customer's glass in that dining room

Answer

Draw draft beer from the tap for another server's table

Answer

Mix a vodka cocktail at the service bar

Answer

Supervise a newly hired Class 13 permit holder and approve that employee's alcohol-service decisions

Question 9

The Class 12 bartender leaves unexpectedly for a short absence. A 22-year-old Class 13 holder has performed temporary Class 12 functions on 12 calendar days so far this year. What may the Class 13 holder do?

Accepted Answer

Cover Class 12 duties until a Class 12 holder arrives and count the day toward the 30-day annual cap

Answer

Perform Class 12 work for 30 consecutive shifts before any replacement is needed

Answer

Continue Class 12 work for the rest of the year because the holder is over 21

Answer

Stop all alcohol service immediately because temporary Class 12 coverage is never allowed under a Class 13 permit

Question 10

Two employees begin work on the same day: a restaurant server performing ordinary on-premises service and a worker assigned to pour alcohol samples at an authorized tasting. Who may use the ordinary 60-calendar-day compliance period?

Accepted Answer

Only the ordinary server may use it; the sampler must already hold the required Class 12 permit

Answer

Both employees may use the period before obtaining their permits

Answer

Only the sampling worker may use it because sampling is considered limited service

Answer

Neither employee may perform covered duties until the 60 days have elapsed
