Serving alcohol involves many risks, and the organization wants to be sure that employees are doing all they can to minimize or eliminate those risks. A barback trained to evaluate intoxication levels, verify identification, and deal with difficult situations will benefit all.

Explain training you have had to make sure you and the company are serving alcohol responsibly. As an experienced barback, you know different factors to consider before providing that customer with alcohol.

"I have been trained through the ServSafe Alcohol training program to serve alcohol responsibly and evaluate intoxication levels. There have been several instances in which I noticed the customer's behavior and alerted the bartender to prevent the customer from being overserved. At every quarterly meeting, our manager conducts a refresher course."
