SELLING TO DRUNKS Tim Robson National Pubwatch Representative North East Region

Drunkenness and Disorderly Conduct A large number of people can commit an offence of knowingly allowing disorderly conduct on relevant premises (section 140). Those people include: • any person who works at the premises in a capacity, paid or unpaid, which authorises him to prevent the conduct; • the holder of a premises licence • a premises supervisor; • any member or officer of a club who is present at the club when the disorder takes place in a capacity which enables him to prevent it; and • the premises user in relation to a permitted temporary activity.

Sale of Alcohol to a Person who is Drunk Section 141 makes it an offence to sell or attempt to sell alcohol to a person who is drunk, or to allow alcohol to be sold to such a person on relevant premises and applies to: • any person who works at the premises in a capacity, whether paid or unpaid, which gives him the authority to sell the alcohol concerned; • the holder of a premises licence in respect of the premises; • the designated premises supervisor (if any) under such a licence; • any member or officer of the club which holds a certificate who at the time the sale (or attempted sale) takes place is present on the premises in a capacity which enables him to prevent it; and • the premises user in relation to the temporary event notice in question. • This section applies in relation to the supply of alcohol by or on behalf of a club to or to the order of a member of the club as it applies in relation to the sale of alcohol. level 3 on the standard scale.

Obtaining Alcohol for a Person who is Drunk Under section 142 a person commits an offence if, on relevant premises, he knowingly obtains or attempts to obtain alcohol for consumption on those premises by a person who is drunk. It is an offence for a drunk or disorderly person, without reasonable excuse, to fail to leave relevant premises when requested to do so by a constable or a person to whom s 143(2) applies, or to enter or attempt to enter such premises after that person has requested him not to do. Also section 91 of the Criminal Justice Act 1967 which makes it an offence to behave in a disorderly manner in a public place whilst being drunk. Any person found guilty shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine

Definition of a Drunk Being in a temporary state in which one's physical and mental faculties are impaired by an excess of alcoholic drink; intoxicated, What do the Police look for? • The persons breath smells strongly of intoxicating liquor • The person was unsteady on their feet • Their eyes were glazed • Their speech was slurred • They were not suffering from a physical disability.

Useful Tips • • • Messages from other pubs via radio or other media. Notable sporting events – Derby days. Pre Loading – Night clubs, last port of call. Freshers week, vulnerable young persons. Organised pub crawls. The onus is yours so don’t rely on door supervisor checks. Employ an effective search policy and look for illicit alcohol. Make good use of your CCTV if fitted. Glass Collectors must be productive. Break the act of composure and create a double take.

Have you an Intoxication Policy? Consider the customers who drink in your premises and their reasons for visiting. Food led premises are likely to have fewer issues with intoxication than wet led venues and premises attracting a younger crowd so your policy will need to take account of those factors. 1. Ensure that any promotions you are running are responsible. There is no point in taking the time to compile an intoxication policy if your promotions encourage customers to drink to excess. Don’t attract unwarranted attention to your premises.

2. Everyone responds to alcohol in a different way so spotting an intoxicated customer can be difficult. Your policy should identify typical signs of intoxication and what your staff should do if they spot those signs, such as reporting this to a member of management or door staff to deal with the situation. CCTV 3. Staff training is key. Once you have devised an effective intoxication policy, it is important that your staff, including any door staff, are trained on the policy. Your staff will be responsible for implementing the policy on a day to day basis and need to be aware of what to do in the event that they notice the signs of intoxication, including their safeguarding responsibilities to vulnerable persons.
