Delaware Alcohol Server Training Practice Test 2026: Practice test 2

1. Question 1 of 25

   • AA borrowed ID
   • BA temporary ID
   • CA counterfeit ID
   • DAn expired ID
   Show answer

   Answer: A. A borrowed ID

   Using someone else's real ID is a borrowed ID. Compare the face, height and other details, and refuse if they do not match.

2. Question 2 of 25

   Can an electronic ID scanner replace looking at the ID and the customer?

   • AYes, if the scanner beeps
   • BNo. You must still check that the photo matches the person and look for tampering
   • CYes, the scanner does all the work
   • DOnly on busy nights
   Show answer

   Answer: B. No. You must still check that the photo matches the person and look for tampering

   A scanner can help, but it cannot tell whether the person in front of you is the person on the card.

3. Question 3 of 25

   After you cut off a customer, who should you tell?

   • AOnly the kitchen
   • BYour manager and co-workers
   • CNo one

   Letting the team know stops the customer from getting alcohol from another server or bartender.

4. Question 4 of 25

   Fast drinking and an empty stomach send alcohol into the blood quickly. Food and slow drinking slow the rise.

5. Question 5 of 25

   Why is serving a visibly intoxicated customer "one for the road" a bad idea?

   • BExactly 1
   • CAbout 3
   • DAbout 1.3

   One standard drink of beer is 12 ounces, so 16 ounces is about 1.3 standard drinks.

7. Question 7 of 25

   A customer seems far more drunk than the one drink she had would explain. What should you suspect?

   • ANothing unusual is happening

    • DIt applies only to motorcycles
    Show answer
