Lesson 2: Arizona Laws and Alcohol Basics

If you question whether someone is under 21:

1) Demand identification from the person. 2) Examine the identification to determine that the identification reasonably appears to be a valid, unaltered identification that has not been defaced. 3) Examine the photograph in the identification and determine that the person reasonably appears to be the same person in the identification. 4) Determine that the date of birth in the identification indicates the person is not under the legal drinking age. **Required if you question whether under 21 **instructed to check if under 27 For off-sale purchases made at a drive up window or any type of sale where the customer does not leave the vehicle, the seller is required to check the ID of anyone appearing under the age of 27.

AZ ID Features:

1. A larger primary portrait with a smaller ghost portrait ensuring customer appearance is clearly reflected. 2. A high-security design comprised of unique Arizona geological features in the background created through use of Guilloche innovative symmetry. A Guilloche design involves techniques consisting of intricate, repetitive patterns that are interwoven to guard against counterfeiting, altering or other fraudulent use. 3. A laser perforation in the shape of Arizona which when held up to the light is used to authenticate the credential quickly. 4. A tactile date of birth field to assist in authenticating the credential by using the sense of touch (the date in this field will have a raised feel to it). 5. A ringtail, the state mammal, illustrated on the front of the new credential 6. Organ Donor designation 7. Veteran designation The card also has a tri-color optically variable device consisting of the state outline, the state name "Arizona," the state seal, a saguaro cactus and a star. This laminate overlay provides the final layer of the card and provides one more feature for authentication.

However, serving alcohol to underage persons, accepting compensation for serving or allowing underage persons on to the establishment, serving obviously intoxicated patrons and selling spirituous liquor with the knowledge it will be resold are Class 1 misdemeanors with penalties of a fine up to $2,500 and/or imprisonment for up to 6 months. In addition to any criminal charges, civil lawsuits may be brought against servers / sellers in the event of negligent behavior. Also remember- failure to follow state laws or even house policies are legitimate reasons to be fired.

A mail-order ID card (provided it contains a photo, signature, and date of birth). D. A resident alien card (provided it contains a photo and date of birth). (CORRECT)

A. Completing an approved Title 4 Training course B. Following required ID checking procedures and recording and retaining a record of a person's ID (CORRECT) C. Asking for a person's ID and signing a form stating you checked a person's ID D. All of these answers are correct.

Credit Purchases

All customers must pay for spirituous liquor at the time of their visit. Licensees (and employees/agents) cannot put purchases of spirituous liquor on a customer "account" that is paid at a later time. (At the end of the month, for example.) Customers can run a tab and then pay the full amount before leaving the premises using a credit card approved by the Director or other payment. The only two exceptions are for hotels / motels and for private clubs. Licensed hotels / motels are allowed to include spirituous liquor purchases on a guest's bill that is paid in full when the guest checks out of the hotel. Also, the sales of spirituous liquor consumed on the premises of private clubs may be included on the bills of club members.

Checking ID Procedures:

Always have the customer remove the ID from his or her wallet or purse. Check the expiration date first. Expired ID is not a valid ID. Verify that the birth date on the ID makes the person 21. Look carefully at the most commonly altered areas: expiration date, birth date, "Under 21 Until" date, and the photo. Have a flashlight handy and hold it behind the ID to look for cuts, punch outs, or pin holes. Turn the ID 90 degrees to look for numbers and letters that are out of line. Ask for a second piece of ID if you have doubts about the first. People with false ID rarely carry back-up ID. Examine the photograph to determine that the person in front of you is the person in the photo. **Remember, you should always check the ID of your own customers, even if a co-worker or door checker has already checked it.

Underage Presence in a Bar

An underage person is allowed in the area of a bar or restaurant that is primarily used for the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages only if accompanied by a spouse, parent or legal guardian of legal drinking age or is an on-duty employee of the licensee. However it is important to know that in a restaurant, the primary purpose of a restaurant (to serve food) can change at any given moment (for example: the restaurant may begin operating as a bar if the majority of the patrons are drinking, not eating, even before 10 p.m.). Therefore it is important to be aware that if the restaurant begins operating as a bar, underage persons are not permitted on the premises unaccompanied. If underage persons are on the premises in this situation, it could constitute a violation if a DLLC investigator was present.

Service Limitations

Arizona also has alcohol service limitations. Many establishments offer happy hour drink specials or other types of drink promotions. In Arizona, the promotion of alcohol in the following ways is prohibited: 1) To serve multiple drinks during a set time period for a single price. 2) To sell or furnish or deliver more than 50 oz of beer, 1 liter of wine or 4 oz of distilled spirits in any type drink at any one time to one person. However, on-sale retailers are exempt from quantity restrictions for selling and delivering an opened original container of distilled spirits if the on-sale retailer's employee provides service or pouring and the employee monitors consumption to ensure compliance. Locking devices may be used but are not required. 3) To advertise any of these promotions. In addition, a licensed establishment may not conduct, sponsor, or allow any type of contest requiring participants to consume alcoholic beverages on the premises. Any dispensing machines that are used must not mislead patrons about what they are purchasing or consuming. All beer taps or other outlets must be clearly labeled with the brand of beer.

Employee Responsibilities

Arizona law also places restrictions on the actions of employees working at liquor licensed establishments. While on-duty, employees may never: -be on or about the premises while intoxicated or in a disorderly state. -solicit others (directly or indirectly) to buy or give the employee or a co-worker drinks or anything of value in the licensed premises -accept a drink from or drink with a patron While on-duty and engaged with customers, employees may not: -consume alcohol. -purchase or give alcohol to someone. While on-duty and not engaged with customers, employees may: -give or purchase alcohol for another person. -sample beer or wine (limit 4 oz./day) or distilled spirits (limit 2 oz./day) when provided by a wholesaler or distributor and consumed in their presence. -under the supervision of a manager during training, consume beer or wine (limit 4 oz./training) or distilled spirits (limit 2 oz./training) and no more than 2 training sessions may be held in a 30 day period.

The Licensed Premises

Arizona liquor laws not only prohibit sales to underage or intoxicated customers; they also outline requirements for operating the licensed premises Licensed premises: the are from which the licensee is authorized to sell, dispense or serve spiritous liquor under the provision of the license A licensed establishment must obtain approval before extending or changing the licensed premises. -In certain situations, a licensed establishment may temporarily extend the area where liquor is served. It takes time to obtain a license - for most license types overall licensing time-frame is 105 days. In addition, there are often two licenses that are required; one from the state and a second from the local governing body. This means there needs to be a lot of advance planning for the event.

Blood Alcohol Content (BAC)

Blood alcohol content is the concentration of alcohol in the bloodstream, expressed as a percentage. This is often estimated using a per drink formula. A widely accepted estimate of BAC is two standard drinks consumed in one hour result in a BAC of approximately 0.04%. Further consumption of one drink per hour will sustain that level. (You will soon find that alcohol is not the only factor that influences this number.) Since intoxication impairs driving ability, every state in the US uses BAC measurements as a standard for the legal operation of a motor vehicle. An individual is considered to be driving while intoxicated if the BAC meets or exceeds .08%.

Special Events

Charitable, civic, fraternal, political or religious organizations sponsoring an event may apply for a Special Events license from the DLCC. This type of license grants temporary retail privileges to the organization. Spirituous liquor may be sold only for the time frame stated on the license. On-sale special events allow the licensee to: -Sell and serve spirituous liquor for consumption on the licensed premises diagrammed in the special event application and only for the authorized period. Off-sale special events allow the licensee to: -Auction spirituous liquor in the original container for later consumption, not at the event and only for the authorized period. Special event licenses issued to qualifying organizations are valid for no more than 10 days in a calendar year. Events must be held on consecutive days and at the same location or additional licenses will be required.

A violation of most of the liquor laws results in a _____ charge with penalties of a fine up to $750 and/or imprisonment for up to 4 months.

Class 2 misdemeanor

Acceptable Forms of ID

Current acceptable forms of ID in Arizona are as follows: -A valid driver's license or non-operating ID card issued by any U.S state, District of Columbia, any province or territory of Canada, and any territory of the United States (Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa and Northern Mariana Islands) -Armed forces ID card -Passport or passport card -Resident alien card Each type of ID must: -Be unexpired -Include a photo of the person, and -Include date of birth indicating the person is over 21 years of age. **An Arizona driver's license or identification card issued to a person who is under 21 years of age is no longer an acceptable type of identification thirty days after the person turns 21. This applies only to driver licenses or ID cards issued in Arizona. **Licenses and IDs issued to a person under 21 by any other U.S. state, the District of Columbia, any province or territory of Canada or any U.S. territory are acceptable forms of ID after the person turns 21 as long as they are not expired.

If you have are unsure if a customer attempting to purchase alcohol is of legal drinking age, you are required to ______.

Demand ID from the person Examine the ID to verify it appears to be valid Examine the photograph in the ID and verify it matches the person presenting the ID, and Determine that the date of birth in the ID indicates the person is not under the legal drinking age

A person who is underage is allowed to consume alcohol on the premises if in the company of a person over 21 years of age. True or False?

False. You are prohibited from allowing an underage person to consume alcohol on the premises.

Underage Consumption Penalty

For the Underage Person: Class 1 misdemeanor. In addition, individuals under age 18 may have their driving privileges suspended up to 180 days. For the server: Class 1 misdemeanor with additional penalties for the owner / licensee. An additional $500 fine will be levied on a server who accepts any gratuity or compensation for serving an underage person or allowing them on the premises.

Documenting ID Inspection

If you follow these four procedures and record and retain a record of the person's identification on this particular visit, Arizona state law considers this a defense should someone under the age of 21 be served alcohol. This defense applies to actions of the licensee and all employees of the licensee after the procedure has been employed during the customer's particular visit to the licensed premises. Therefore if there is an employee placed at the door checking IDs, who has already followed all the required procedures and recorded it in an ID log, you do not need to verify this customer's ID on this particular visit before serving him or her alcohol. ***The safest course for you to take is to check an ID for any customer who appears to be under the age of 27 and document it.

Laws Regarding Obvious Intoxication

In Arizona it is illegal to sell, deliver, furnish, or give away alcoholic beverages to a disorderly or obviously intoxicated person, or to permit a disorderly or obviously intoxicated person to come into or remain for longer than 30 minutes on or about the premises once the state of obvious intoxication is known. violation of this law constitutes a Class 1 misdemeanor.

Common Forms of Gambling

For example, the poker game is illegal in any of the following circumstances: the bar charges players a fee to play, the bar asks players for a cover charge in order to enter the establishment that is hosting the poker tournament, the host takes a percentage of the money the players bet, or the host requires players to buy food, beverages, T-shirts, or other items in order to participate. Sports Pool Contest/ Fantasy Sports Team: Sports Pools and Fantasy Sports Team games are considered illegal if the host of the event receives a fee for services provided or if all of the pooled money doesn't go back to the participants. If the host takes a percentage of the pooled money, the Sports Pool or Fantasy Sports Team is illegal. Games of Skill: Games of Skill include billiards ("pool"), darts, trivia, or other intellectual games. Usually the participants bet among themselves and the winner of the competition receives the amount wagered. These games are illegal if the host of the event receives a fee for services provided or if all the money wagered doesn't go back to the participants. Poker Runs: Poker runs for charity (such as those staged by motorcycle or car clubs) amount to illegal gambling under Arizona law. Poker Runs typically have a participant pay a registration fee or purchase cards or hands at various rally points. At the end of the Poker Run, a cash prize is usually awarded based on the hand the participant receives. Even if the contribution goes to a charitable cause or to a non-profit organization, participants still pay money to enter, which makes the activity illegal gambling. 50-50 Drawings: A 50-50 Drawing is a type of Raffle in which the funds raised are split 50-50 between the fund-raisers and the winner. 50-50 Drawings are illegal in Arizona. The participant is required to purchase tickets for a chance to win cash, a requirement that makes the 50-50 Drawing illegal. Raffles are permitted only if they are conducted by tax-exempt organizations under very strict conditions set out by Arizona law. Office Pools: In a typical Office Pool, employees in the office wager and make their best guesses on the outcome of a future event, with all the money going to the person whose guesses turn out to be the most accurate. Office Pools are often centered on the results of an athletic contest (e.g., the Super Bowl, World Series, or NCAA College Football or Basketball Championships). Office Pools can also involve bets on other events such as the birth of a child (e.g., birth date, gender, or weight of the child). Office Pools are ordinarily considered to be forms of gambling. They are considered illegal if the host or organizer receives a fee for services provided or if all the money wagered doesn't go back to the participants. If the organizer takes a percentage of the money bet or won, the Office Pool is illegal.

Evaluating Your Customers

Think SIR for each new customer attempting to purchase alcohol: Size Them Up: Assess for yourself if the customer appears to be underage or intoxicated. Interview: Take a moment and talk to each customer. Listen for jargon or other language that the underage crowd may use. Also listen for slurred speech, confusion or references to other drinking that might have happened that day. Rate Them: This is where you as the seller or server make the determination on whether or not to serve the customer alcohol.

Covert Underage Buyer Program

To test how well businesses obey the laws regarding underage persons, the DLLC runs a Covert Underage Buyer (CUB) Program. Volunteers between 15 and 19 years of age attempt to buy alcohol at liquor stores, supermarkets, restaurants, bars, and special events. The underage buyer has been trained in and will follow all liquor laws and DLLC regulations.
