Overservice
During April, the Cannabis and Alcohol Regulation Division (CARD) promotes safe and responsible alcohol sales, service, and consumption.
The Front-line Professional of Safety
Protecting Your Customers Starts with You
When you sell or serve alcohol, you are doing more than completing a transaction. You are protecting your friends, neighbors, and family.
Your Decisions Matter
In Montana, sellers and servers are the front line of safety. Your decisions matter on every shift, every drink, every customer.
You Are the Front-line Professional
As a bartender, server, clerk, or delivery driver, you control access to alcohol.
That responsibility includes:
- Checking IDs
- Refusing service when needed
- Monitoring alcohol consumption
- Knowing when enough is enough
Stopping service is not being rude. It is being responsible.
Watch for the Signs
Over-service puts people at risk. Pay attention to:
- Slurred speech
- Impaired coordination
- Aggressive or emotional behavior
- Rapid or excessive consumption
Protect Your People
Your patrons are someone’s family, friend, or coworker. By preventing over-service, you help keep:
- Roads safer
- Communities stronger
- Lives protected
Remember This
Alcohol responsibility starts at the point of sale and service.
- You are not just a seller or server.
- You are the front-line professional.
- You are the protector of your people.
