Keeping Your Guests Safe When Serving Alcohol at Your Party

Keeping Your Guests Safe When Serving Alcohol at Your Party

Hosting a party is all about creating memorable moments, but ensuring your guests' safety is paramount, especially when alcohol is involved. At Fizz Functions, your local event bartending experts, we believe responsible serving is just as important as crafting delicious cocktails. Here’s how you can keep your guests safe and sound.

1. Encourage Responsible Consumption (and Provide Alternatives):

• Set the tone for responsible drinking from the start. Offer a variety of non-alcoholic options, like mocktails, sparkling water, and juices. This ensures everyone has something refreshing to enjoy, regardless of their alcohol preference. Make sure to stock up on bottles of water, a couple cases always come in clutch.

2. Provide Plenty of Food and Water:

• Food slows down alcohol absorption. Ensure you have ample appetizers, snacks, and even a full meal available. Hydration is key! Place water stations throughout your venue and encourage guests to drink water between alcoholic beverages.

3. Monitor and Manage Alcohol Service:

• As a responsible host, keep an eye on your guests' alcohol consumption. If you see someone becoming intoxicated, gently suggest they switch to water or a non-alcoholic drink. If you are hiring a bartending service, make sure they know there responsible service standards. Weddings especially can bring out the urge to drink more. Saying No is important.

4. Arrange Safe Transportation:

• Never let an intoxicated guest drive. Encourage the use of ride-sharing services, taxis, or designated drivers. If possible, help arrange transportation for those who need it. A safe end to the night is just as important as a fun beginning. We want to ensure everyone gets home safely.

5. Skip the shots

• A lot of times it’s the round of shots that catch up to people. In our experience, its better not to offer shots to your guests. Having people stick to controlled amounts removes the headache of clean up at the end of the night.
