Responsible Alcohol Service

Number of Drinks in the First Hour
The following chart breaks down the amount of drinks a Guest can have based upon body weight and alcohol content/alcohol proof. The chart assumes the Guest is drinking for one hour and does not apply to subsequent hours. If the Guest continues to drink beyond one hour, monitor the Guest closely according to Responsible Alcohol Sales & Service. The chart also assumes that the Guest has not been drinking prior to the experience. (Using .08 Blood Alcohol Content/BAC)

Body Weight	22oz Beers	Bottles Beer Pint Beer Highballs/Rocks Standard Mixed Drinks	Wine By The Glass	Shots
100-119	1	2	1	2
120-139	1	2	1	2
140-159	1	2	1	2
160-179	2	3	2	3
180-199	2	3	2	3
200 +	2	3	3	3

Note: Although a shot is considered one drink, it can often be consumed quicker than other alcoholic beverages. Be careful when monitoring shots especially with large groups as they often order several rounds. It is difficult to keep track of who drank what and how much. Higher proof liquors/liqueurs (e.g. Goldschlager & Rumpleminz) should be monitored even more closely due to alcohol proof content.
