样题与解析

以下是本题库中的部分真题与完整解析。完整题库请用上方的刷题工具。

1. Laws & Liability
What is the primary purpose of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC)?
- a.To set the retail price of alcoholic beverages statewide
- b.To regulate and supervise the alcoholic beverage industry in Texas and promote public safety
- c.To collect federal excise taxes on imported liquor
- d.To license restaurants for food safety inspections
答案: b
解析: The TABC is the state agency created to regulate every phase of the alcoholic beverage industry in Texas, from manufacturing to retail sale. Its core mission is protecting public safety and welfare, not price-setting or food inspection. It enforces the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code.
依据: Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code
2. Laws & Liability
Which of the following is an ADMINISTRATIVE (rather than criminal) consequence of illegal alcohol sales?
- a.Jail time for the server
- b.A personal criminal record for the bartender
- c.Suspension or cancellation of the business's TABC permit
- d.A public-intoxication arrest of the customer
答案: c
解析: Administrative penalties are actions TABC takes against the license or permit itself, such as fines, suspension, or cancellation. Criminal penalties, like jail or a personal record, apply to individuals through the courts. A single incident can trigger both tracks at once.
依据: Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code
3. Laws & Liability
A guest is drinking heavily and mentions they are driving home. The server keeps serving. The Dram Shop Act is most concerned with which factor at the time of service?
- a.Whether the guest was already obviously intoxicated when served
- b.Whether the guest ordered an expensive drink
- c.Whether the guest paid a cover charge
- d.Whether the bar was crowded
答案: a
解析: Dram Shop liability hinges on whether the person was obviously intoxicated and a clear danger at the moment they were served. The guest's plan to drive raises the stakes but the legal test is the obvious intoxication at service. That is why servers must watch for and act on signs of intoxication.
依据: Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code
4. Laws & Liability
A seller-server's best overall protection against personal liability is to:
- a.Consistently follow the law: check IDs, refuse minors and intoxicated patrons, and stop over-service
- b.Keep no records at all
- c.Rely on customers to police themselves
- d.Serve quickly to reduce time with each guest
答案: a
解析: Following the law every time, including ID checks and proper refusals, is the surest protection for a seller-server. Consistent compliance reduces both criminal and civil exposure. Cutting corners for speed only increases risk.
依据: Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code
5. Intoxication
Two patrons each drink three beers in one hour. One is a large man and one is a smaller woman. Which is generally true?
- a.They will have identical BAC
- b.The larger man will usually have a higher BAC
- c.The smaller woman will usually reach a higher BAC than the larger man
- d.Food and body size make no difference
答案: c
解析: For the same amount of alcohol, a smaller person and, on average, a woman will typically reach a higher BAC than a larger man. Body weight and body composition affect how alcohol is distributed. Servers should judge each patron individually rather than assuming equal tolerance.
6. Intoxication
A group orders a round, and one clearly intoxicated member of the group is not drinking themselves but a friend keeps ordering 'for the table.' Why is this a concern?
- a.It is not a concern at all
- b.The intoxicated person is fine as long as someone else orders
- c.Group orders are always illegal
- d.The friend may be buying drinks that will be passed to the already-intoxicated patron
答案: d
解析: Servers must watch for patrons ordering on behalf of an intoxicated person to get around a refusal. Alcohol that ends up with the intoxicated patron is still over-service. Monitoring where drinks actually go is part of preventing illegal service.
7. Intoxication
Which combination of factors would cause the FASTEST rise in BAC for a given number of drinks?
- a.Large body, ate a full meal, drinking slowly
- b.Large body, drinking slowly over several hours
- c.Average body, moderate pace, with food
- d.Small body, empty stomach, drinking quickly
答案: d
解析: A smaller person drinking rapidly on an empty stomach will reach a high BAC fastest for the same number of drinks. Body size, food, and drinking rate all push in the same direction here. Servers should be especially attentive to patrons who fit this profile.
8. ID & Minors
It is June 1, 2026. An ID shows a date of birth of June 2, 2005. May this person be sold alcohol?
- a.Yes, they are 21
- b.Yes, close enough
- c.No, they are still 20 until June 2, 2026
- d.It depends on the state that issued the ID
答案: c
解析: On June 1, 2026, someone born June 2, 2005 is still 20 because their 21st birthday is the next day. Being one day short still means they are a minor and must be refused. Servers must check the exact birth date, not just the year.
依据: Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code
9. ID & Minors
Which of these is TRUE about minors and alcohol in Texas?
- a.It is illegal for a minor to purchase alcohol
- b.It is generally illegal for a minor to possess alcohol in public
- c.It is illegal for a minor to consume alcohol except in narrow legal exceptions
- d.All of the above
答案: d
解析: Texas law makes it illegal for minors to purchase, publicly possess, or consume alcohol, subject only to narrow exceptions. Each of these can be a separate offense. Seller-servers help enforce these rules by refusing sales and monitoring who is drinking.
依据: Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code
10. Documentation & Safety
A patron becomes angry when you refuse further service. The safest way to handle the refusal is to:
- a.Stay calm and polite, keep a professional tone, and avoid arguing or embarrassing the patron
- b.Loudly announce to the whole bar that they are cut off
- c.Physically remove them yourself immediately
- d.Mock them until they leave
答案: a
解析: Refusing service calmly and discreetly reduces the chance of confrontation and keeps everyone safer. Publicly embarrassing or physically confronting a patron tends to escalate the situation. A professional, low-key approach is both safer and more effective.
