Commonwealth.
Oxidation: The process by which the body burns alcohol for elimination. The liver oxidizes ninety percent (90%) of
alcohol, at a rate equal to about one (1) average drink per hour.
Premises: An establishment’s building and grounds, including parking lots. Some or all of the premises may be
licensed.
Professional Duty: Duties a server chooses to perform because he or she wants to do more than legal duties to protect
customers, himself or herself, and society in general.
Proof: The alcohol content of distilled spirits. Equal to two (2) times the percentage of alcohol. For example, one
hundred (100) proof equals fifty percent (50%) alcohol content.
Proper Identification: Refers to the four (4) types of identification which are recognized under section 495(a) of
the Pennsylvania Liquor Code [47 P .S. § 4-495(a)] as proof of age for the purposes of serving, or selling alcoholic
beverages, or frequenting a licensed premises. The four (4) types of identification are: 1) a valid photo driver’s license
issued by any state; 2) a valid photo identification card issued by any state; 3) a valid armed forces of the United States
identification card; and 4) a valid passport, passport card, or travel visa issued by the United States or a foreign country
that contains the holder’s photograph.
Proper Supervision: A person who is twenty-five (25) years of age or older, who is directly responsible for the care and
conduct of the minor(s) while on the licensed premises, and who keeps the minor(s) within his or her sight or hearing at all
times. If the licensee or employee is acting as proper supervision, then that person may not perform any other employment-
related duties.
RAMP Certification: A Responsible Alcohol Management Program Certification (RAMP) procedure, that
provides incentives for licensees that participate. RAMP is the umbrella used to describe the collection of training and
resources available to licensees and their employees. Completion of the program provides certification for two (2) years.
In order to comply, licensees must complete all parts of the program, which include: Owner/Manager
Training, Server/Seller Training, New Employee Orientation, Signage, and Request for Certification.
Responsible Alcohol Service: The legal and professional responsibility of alcohol servers to consistently take care
that customers do not drink to intoxication, to assure that minors are not served or possess alcohol, and to assure that
visibly intoxicated individuals are not served and do not drive.
Server/Seller Training: The second component required for RAMP Certification. This training is required for at
least fifty percent (50%) of a licensee’s alcohol service staff (which includes anyone who serves alcohol or checks IDs).
This percentage must be maintained at all times and must be conducted by a trainer who has been approved by the
PLCB.
Signage: Refers to the fourth component required for RAMP Certification, consisting of displaying signs addressing
age and identification requirements and the prohibition of selling alcohol to VIPs.
Stimulants: Chemicals that speed up the processes of the central nervous system. Sometimes called “uppers.”
Third Party Liability: A law that allows a victim to sue a server, licensee, or a social host for damages and injuries
resulting from the actions of a customer. In Pennsylvania, third party liability applies when the server or licensee violates
the law by serving a minor or a visibly intoxicated person. The first party is the licensee/server, the second party is the
customer, and third party is the victim.
Tolerance: The condition when a drug user requires increasingly larger amounts of the drug to produce the same
effect. A change in the system of the user, developing with prolonged or increased use of a drug, including alcohol.
Toxic: Poisonous; causing death, harm, or impairment.
Tranquilizers: Depressant drugs that slow down the central nervous system, also known as “downers.” Used in
combination with alcohol, the depressant effects of both drugs are intensified, sometimes resulting in coma or death.
