Community event planners who implement these best practices send the message

that underage drinking and over-consumption are not acceptable or consistent with

the values and practices for a safe and responsible environment to promote enjoyable

community and family events.

Implementing these practices and developing procedures for responsible service may

help to reduce the event’s liquor liability insurance rates.

We encourage event planners to implement these best practices as your time and

resources permit. If you have any questions please contact Drug Free Communities

of Fond du Lac County at: 920-906-6700 ext. 4704 or the Fond du Lac County Health

Department at 920-929-3085.

INTRODUCTION

This toolkit consists of research-based best practices. It will assist community event planners with safety suggestions that will better ensure a positive community festival and event experience as well as help to reduce over-consumption and the availability of alcohol to minors.

Community events and festivals are an important part of our community life and

culture. At their best, they can be a place for children to play and family and friends to

gather. Festivals and other public events can play a dual role in community norms by

both setting and reflecting them. Community public events are often opportunities to

celebrate the community and its identity.

Managing alcohol consumption is a major part of the event organizing that must be

planned well in advance of the event itself. Public events may unintentionally support

and encourage heavy use of alcohol. With beer tents, signage and sponsorships,

alcohol can easily overshadow the purpose of these events and become the main

attraction.

When planning an event, consider the target audience: Will your attendees be youth, families, adults, or the general community? Knowing your audience and tailoring procedures to that audience will help ensure a fun and safe event for all! For youth, family, and community-focused events, consider the following practices:

● Postalcoholadvertisingatorabove36”fromtheground

● Provideadesignatedareaforalcoholsalesawayfromallfamilyandyouth-orientedactivities

● Keepchildeventareasalcohol-freeandpostsignage“AlcoholFreeZone”or“AlcoholProhibitedBeyondthisPoint”

Event planners may consider written, posted alcohol policies that address service, training, and management, as well as training servers, staff, and volunteers on the policies. Practices and policies to consider:

● Establish a responsible alcohol managementplanusing thebestpractices. (AppendixB,C&D)

● Inform the community about the alcoholmanagement plan through newspaper, radiointerviews,television,socialmediaandinternet

● Check identification for all customers whoplan to purchase or possess alcohol and usewristbands to identify people who are 21and older (ID’s are checked on all adults forconsistency)

● HaveIDverificationareaseparatefromalcoholsalesvendors,includingapplyingwristbands

● Signage-Placevisiblesignsannouncingalcoholpolicies/procedures,examplesofbestpracticewordingare(AppendixE):

● “Must be born on or before ‘today’s date ofyear’inordertopurchase,consume,orpossessalcohol”

● “We ID all adults who purchase or possessalcohol”

● “Wristbands required to purchase or possessalcohol”

● “WisconsinLawprohibitssaleofalcoholtopersonsunderage21orintoxicatedpersons”

Over the past 5 years, Wisconsin has ranked one of the worst offenders of binge drinking in the nation. When alcohol is a major part of the celebration, community events often experience alcohol-related public disturbances, injuries, violence, vandalism or traffic fatalities. This puts a negative reflection on the event.

Practices that decrease binge drinking and intoxication are the following:

● Limitthenumberofalcoholicbeveragesthatcanbepurchasedatonetime

● Avoiddrinkpromotions,suchas“2for1”,“allyoucandrink”or“happyhour”

● Pricenon-alcoholicdrinkslessthanalcoholicdrinks

● Limitcupsizeto12-16oz.forbeerandwinecoolersand5oz.forwine,noalcoholservedinpitchers

● Removelids/capsandopencansofalcoholicbeveragebeforeservingtoconsumer

● Offerfood&non-alcoholicbeverages,includingnon-alcoholicbeer

● Limitthehoursofalcoholsales(example:notbefore12pm)anddiscontinuealcoholsales30to60minutesbeforetheendoftheevent

● Requireserverstonotifysupervisororsecuritywhentheyobserveapersonwhoisimpairedorintoxicated

● Developwritten,consistentproceduresforhandlinganyonewhoappearstobeintoxicated,includingabsolutelyno

salestointoxicatedindividuals

● Postsignage“Intoxicatedpersonswillnotbeserved”(AppendixE)

● Becourteous,discreet,andtactfulwhenceasingalcoholservicetointoxicatedindividuals

● Provideoptionsforalternativetransportation—donotallowintoxicatedindividualstodrive

● Eliminatedrinkinggamesorcontests,anddonotprovidealcoholicbeverageasprizes

Behavioral cues of intoxication:

● Exhibitingchangesofinhibitionsornotablechangesinbehavior,becomingloud,talkative,ormoodswings

● Exhibitingsignsofpoorjudgment,inappropriatebehavior,gestures,languageorbecomingoverlyfriendly

● Exhibitingchangesinreaction,unfocusedeyes,slurredorslowedspeechorlosingtrainofthought

● Exhibitingchangesincoordination,stumbling,droppingbelongingsordifficultypickingupitems

Servers hold the key to prevent over-consumption as well as underage drinking at community events; however, alcohol policies & procedures are only effective when servers, staff, & volunteers know, understand, & enforce them.

Consider the following practices:● Ensureadequatestaffingneedsforthealcohol
