Licensed venues can play a major positive role in changing the alcohol culture by developing and implementing strategies that are well managed to create safer drinking environments that support responsible drinking and reduce antisocial behaviour.
Did you know?
- Licensed premises are unique settings that convey images and messages about community norms, standards and values in relation to alcohol and also in relation to the act of consumption (Roche 2008).
- Alcohol effects the decision making ability of a person – making it more difficult for them to respond rationally in certain circumstances.
- It is well documented that continued service to intoxicated patrons is a significant risk factor for patrons experiencing alcohol-related harm (Loxley, et al, 2004).
- Ensuring patrons are comfortable and have easy access to facilities is an important part of preventing problems at your venue.
- Serving alcohol to a drunk person or allowing a drunk person onto the premises is a serious breach of the Liquor Control Act.
