Nevada Alcohol Awareness Practice Test

Getting your alcohol awareness card (the "TAM card") to serve alcohol in Las Vegas or Reno? This free practice test has 53 questions on the subjects every approved Nevada course has to teach: how alcohol affects the body, spotting intoxication and cutting off service, minors and fake IDs, preventing fights, and Nevada and local alcohol law, plus the rules for the card itself. Every answer comes with an explanation and a link to the part of our Nevada Alcohol Awareness Card: Who Needs One and How to Get It that covers it.

Nevada alcohol awareness questions and answers

   1. Every county in Nevada
   2. Clark and Washoe counties
   3. Clark County only

9. 9Your card expires next month. How do you renew it?

   1. Take an approved course and pass its exam again
   2. Pay a renewal fee online
   3. Nothing; it renews automatically while you work
   4. Have your employer sign an extension

   Answer: A. Take an approved course and pass its exam again

   The CPE calls the cards non-renewable: you get a new card by completing an approved program again, which is what the statute counts as renewing (NRS 369.625). Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

10. 10You got your card in Las Vegas and take a bartending job in Reno. Is the card still good?

    1. Only after you pay a transfer fee

Course and exam

11. 11Can you take a Nevada alcohol awareness course online?

    1. Yes, but the CPE requires the exam to be taken in person with a proctor
    2. No; only classroom courses count
    3. Only if you live outside Nevada
    4. Yes, and you take the exam at home with no proctor

    Answer: A. Yes, but the CPE requires the exam to be taken in person with a proctor

    The law allows courses over the Internet (NRS 369.625), but the final exam must be proctored, and the CPE says it must be taken in person at an approved location. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

12. 12What score do you need to pass an approved program's final exam?

    1. 60% in each subject
    2. 70% overall
    3. 75% in each subject the exam covers
    4. 80% overall

    Answer: C. 75% in each subject the exam covers

    NAC 394.730 requires a raw score of 75% on the final exam in each of the six required subjects, so one weak subject can fail you. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

13. 13What is the most an approved program can charge you to complete it?

    1. $40
    2. $75
    3. $100

    1. Mixing cocktails
    2. How alcohol affects the body
    3. Hours of sale
    4. Upselling drinks

Alcohol and the body

17. 17Which of these is one standard drink?

    1. A 9-ounce glass of wine
    2. 3 ounces of 80-proof spirits
    3. 1.5 ounces of 80-proof spirits
    4. A 16-ounce craft IPA at 9% alcohol

    Answer: C. 1.5 ounces of 80-proof spirits

    A standard drink holds about 0.6 ounces of pure alcohol: 12 ounces of regular beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof spirits. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

18. 18About how much alcohol can the body process in an hour?

    1. About one standard drink
    2. Half a bottle of wine
    3. Any amount, if the person also drinks water
    4. About three standard drinks

    Answer: A. About one standard drink

    On average the liver clears about one standard drink an hour. Drinks served faster than that build up in the blood. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

19. 19What lowers a person's blood alcohol content (BAC)?

    1. A cold shower
    2. Black coffee
    3. Only time
    4. Fresh air and exercise

    Answer: C. Only time

    Coffee, cold showers and fresh air may make someone feel more alert, but only time lets the liver break down the alcohol. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

20. 20Which slows down how fast alcohol gets into the blood?

    1. Carbonated mixers
    2. Drinking quickly
    3. Drinking on an empty stomach
    4. Eating food before or while drinking

    Answer: D. Eating food before or while drinking

    Food keeps alcohol in the stomach longer, so it reaches the small intestine, where most of it is absorbed, more slowly. Carbonation and an empty stomach speed it up. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

21. 21Where is most alcohol absorbed into the bloodstream?

    1. The liver
    2. The lungs
    3. The kidneys
    4. The small intestine

    Answer: D. The small intestine

    Some alcohol is absorbed through the stomach and most through the small intestine. The liver is where alcohol is broken down, not absorbed. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

22. 22Two customers have the same drinks at the same pace. Who will usually reach the higher BAC?

    1. The one who weighs more
    2. The one who weighs less and hasn't eaten
    3. The one who is taller
    4. The one who had a large meal first

    Answer: B. The one who weighs less and hasn't eaten

    A smaller body has less water to dilute the alcohol, and an empty stomach speeds absorption, so BAC climbs faster. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

23. 23A customer stops drinking at midnight. What happens to their BAC right after?

    1. It drops to zero within 30 minutes
    2. It can keep rising for a while as the last drinks are absorbed
    3. It drops faster if they switch to water
    4. It stays the same until morning

    Answer: B. It can keep rising for a while as the last drinks are absorbed

    Alcohol already in the stomach and intestine keeps entering the blood, so BAC can rise after the last drink. A customer who downs a fast round right before leaving may be more impaired at the door than at the bar. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

24. 24Alcohol is classed as which kind of drug?

    1. A stimulant
    2. A hallucinogen
    3. A painkiller only
    4. A depressant

    Answer: D. A depressant

    Alcohol is a depressant: it slows the brain and nervous system, which is why judgment, reactions and coordination get worse as BAC rises. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

Spotting intoxication

25. 25A customer starts buying rounds for strangers and telling loud, off-color jokes. What do these signs suggest?

    1. Advanced intoxication that calls for 911
    2. Nothing you can judge without a breath test
    3. A celebrating customer with no cause for concern
    4. Lowered inhibitions and impaired judgment, early signs of intoxication

    Answer: D. Lowered inhibitions and impaired judgment, early signs of intoxication

    Behavior changes come first: getting louder, overly friendly or careless with money. Spotting them early lets you slow service before it gets worse. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

26. 26Which signs point to lost coordination?

    1. Stumbling, swaying, and spilling drinks
    2. Ordering a second drink
    3. Asking for the check
    4. Talking more than usual

    Answer: A. Stumbling, swaying, and spilling drinks

    Stumbling, swaying, fumbling with money and spilling drinks are signs of lost coordination, which usually means a high BAC. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

27. 27A regular has had six drinks but says they can handle it and seems fine. What's true?

    1. They're fine to serve if they seem sober
    2. Regulars can't become intoxicated
    3. Tolerance can hide the signs, but their BAC is still high
    4. Six drinks is under the legal limit for everyone

    Answer: C. Tolerance can hide the signs, but their BAC is still high

    People who drink often learn to hide the signs, but tolerance doesn't lower BAC. Count drinks as well as watching behavior. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

28. 28Why do many servers keep a rough count of each customer's drinks?

    1. To refuse service after exactly four drinks
    2. To charge more after the third drink
    3. To notice when someone is drinking faster than about one drink an hour
    4. Because Nevada law sets a three-drink limit

    Answer: C. To notice when someone is drinking faster than about one drink an hour

    Nevada has no drink limit, but the body clears about one standard drink an hour, so a fast pace is an early warning. Counting works alongside watching behavior. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

Cutting off service

29. 29Which is the best way to tell a customer you won't serve them more alcohol?

    1. "You're drunk. You're done."
    2. Privately and politely: "I'm sorry, I can't serve you any more alcohol tonight."
    3. Loudly, so the whole bar hears the rule
    4. Ignore their orders until they leave

    Answer: B. Privately and politely: "I'm sorry, I can't serve you any more alcohol tonight."

    Speak calmly and privately, focus on the rule rather than the person, and don't accuse. It protects the customer's dignity and lowers the chance of a scene. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

30. 30After you cut off a customer, they ask for "just one more for the road." What do you do?

    1. Serve a weaker drink instead
    2. Let a coworker serve them
    3. Pour one last drink so they leave happy
    4. Stay firm and offer water, food or a nonalcoholic drink

    Answer: D. Stay firm and offer water, food or a nonalcoholic drink

    Once you refuse service, don't bargain. Offer food, water or a soft drink instead, and get a manager if they push back. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

31. 31An intoxicated customer you cut off says they're driving home. What should you do?

    1. Ask them to sit in their car for 30 minutes
    2. Let them go; driving isn't your concern
    3. Serve coffee so they can drive
    4. Tell your manager and help arrange a safe ride, such as a taxi, rideshare or sober friend

    Answer: D. Tell your manager and help arrange a safe ride, such as a taxi, rideshare or sober friend

    Coffee doesn't lower BAC. Bring in your manager and offer to call a cab, a rideshare or a friend. If they drive off anyway, management can call the police. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

32. 32Why tell your coworkers when you cut someone off?

    1. Because state law requires written notice to every employee
    2. So they can take over the customer's tab
    3. So the customer can order at another bar in the building
    4. So no one else on the team serves that customer

    Answer: D. So no one else on the team serves that customer

    A cut-off only works if the whole team honors it. Tell the other bartenders and servers, and note it in the incident log if your workplace keeps one. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

Minors and IDs

33. 33How old must a customer be to buy or drink alcohol in Nevada?

    1. 21
    2. 20
    3. 18
    4. 19

    Answer: A. 21

    Nevada's drinking age is 21 (NRS 202.020). Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

34. 34What is the penalty for knowingly selling or giving alcohol to someone under 21?

    1. Nothing for a first offense
    2. A warning letter to the employer
    3. A $25 civil fine
    4. A misdemeanor: up to 6 months in jail and a $1,000 fine

    Answer: D. A misdemeanor: up to 6 months in jail and a $1,000 fine

    Knowingly selling, giving or furnishing alcohol to anyone under 21 is a misdemeanor (NRS 202.055), punishable by up to 6 months in jail, a $1,000 fine, or both (NRS 193.150). Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

35. 35Under NRS 205.460, what protects you if a minor with a convincing fake ID gets served?

    1. The customer said they were 21
    2. You guessed the customer was over 30
    3. You asked for and were shown a government-issued ID right before serving
    4. Another server had served them earlier

    Answer: C. You asked for and were shown a government-issued ID right before serving

    It's a defense if you demanded and were shown government-issued proof of age and identity, such as a driver's license or military ID, immediately before serving. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

36. 36Which of these counts as proof of age for that defense?

    1. A private college student ID
    2. A driver's license or ID card issued by a government
    3. A credit card with the customer's name
    4. A photo of an ID on a phone

    Answer: B. A driver's license or ID card issued by a government

    The defense requires proof issued by a federal, state, county or city government, such as a driver's license, military ID or passport. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

37. 37A 19-year-old orders a beer, and their parent at the table says it's fine. What do you do?

    1. Serve it if they also order food
    2. Refuse; no one under 21 may buy or drink alcohol at a bar or restaurant, even with a parent
    3. Serve it, since a parent approved
    4. Let the parent order it and pass it over

    Answer: B. Refuse; no one under 21 may buy or drink alcohol at a bar or restaurant, even with a parent

    A person under 21 who buys or drinks alcohol where liquor is sold commits a misdemeanor (NRS 202.020), and so does anyone who knowingly sells it to them (NRS 202.055). A parent's OK doesn't change that. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

38. 38A 20-year-old uses a fake ID to buy a drink. What has the 20-year-old done?

    1. Nothing illegal; only the server is at fault
    2. Committed a misdemeanor
    3. Broken a store policy only
    4. Committed a felony

    Answer: B. Committed a misdemeanor

    A person under 21 who uses or tries to use a fake ID to buy or be served alcohol is guilty of a misdemeanor (NRS 205.460). Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

39. 39Someone sells a fake ID to a 19-year-old. What is that?

    1. A civil infraction
    2. A crime only if the ID is used
    3. A gross misdemeanor
    4. Legal if the buyer is over 18

    Answer: C. A gross misdemeanor

    Selling, lending or giving a forged or altered ID to someone under 21 is a gross misdemeanor (NRS 205.460). Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

40. 40A 19-year-old wants to wait for a friend at a saloon's bar. Is that allowed?

    1. Yes, before 10 p.m.
    2. Yes, if an adult is with them
    3. Yes, if they don't drink
    4. No; people under 21 may not loiter or remain in a saloon

    Answer: D. No; people under 21 may not loiter or remain in a saloon

    NRS 202.030 fines minors up to $500 for loitering in a saloon, and NRS 202.060 fines a manager who knowingly allows it. Restaurants that serve alcohol only with meals, at tables separate from the bar, are an exception. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

41. 41In the City of Las Vegas, how old must an employee be to sell or serve alcohol?

    1. 18
    2. 19
    3. 21
    4. 16

    Answer: C. 21

    Las Vegas Municipal Code 6.50.490 bars employing anyone under 21 to sell or handle alcohol. Workers 16 and older may only stock sealed beer, wine and coolers under supervision and clear used drink glasses from tables. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

42. 42An adult buys two beers and hands one to a 20-year-old friend, who drinks it. Who broke the law?

    1. Neither, since the adult paid
    2. Only the adult
    3. Only the 20-year-old
    4. Both: furnishing alcohol to a minor and a minor drinking it are each misdemeanors

    Answer: D. Both: furnishing alcohol to a minor and a minor drinking it are each misdemeanors

    Knowingly furnishing alcohol to someone under 21 is a misdemeanor (NRS 202.055), and so is drinking it where liquor is sold (NRS 202.020). Watch for adults passing drinks to younger friends. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

Nevada and local law

43. 43Can you serve a customer who is already intoxicated in Clark County or the City of Las Vegas?

    1. Yes, until 2 a.m.
    2. Yes, if a friend orders for them
    3. Yes, if they aren't driving
    4. No; both codes make it unlawful

    Answer: D. No; both codes make it unlawful

    Clark County Code 8.20.300 and Las Vegas Municipal Code 6.50.450 make it unlawful to sell or serve alcohol to an intoxicated person. Henderson and North Las Vegas have the same rule. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

44. 44Under Las Vegas city code, may a bartender who has become intoxicated keep serving?

    1. No; it's unlawful for an intoxicated person to sell or serve alcohol
    2. Yes, if they only serve beer
    3. Yes, if a manager approves
    4. Yes, if the shift is almost over

    Answer: A. No; it's unlawful for an intoxicated person to sell or serve alcohol

    Las Vegas Municipal Code 6.50.480 makes it unlawful for an intoxicated person to sell or serve alcohol, and Clark County bars licensees' staff from being intoxicated on duty at a tavern. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

45. 45Nevada generally shields businesses from lawsuits over what an adult customer does after drinking. Does that make it OK to serve an intoxicated customer?

    1. Only if the customer is a hotel guest
    2. Yes, because the business can't be sued
    3. No; local codes still make it unlawful, and the business's liquor license is at stake
    4. Yes, if the customer signs a waiver

    Answer: C. No; local codes still make it unlawful, and the business's liquor license is at stake

    NRS 41.1305 limits civil lawsuits, but Clark County, Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas codes still make serving an intoxicated person unlawful, and licensing boards can act against the business. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

46. 46What is Nevada's blood alcohol limit for drivers 21 and older?

    1. 0.10
    2. 0.08
    3. 0.05
    4. 0.02

    Answer: B. 0.08

    Driving with a BAC of 0.08 or more, or while under the influence, is DUI (NRS 484C.110). Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

47. 47A 19-year-old driver tests at 0.02 BAC. What happens?

    1. Their license is suspended for 90 days
    2. A warning only
    3. Nothing, since it's under 0.08
    4. A $25 fine

    Answer: A. Their license is suspended for 90 days

    For drivers under 21, a test result of 0.02 or more but under 0.08 means a mandatory 90-day license suspension (NRS 483.461). Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

48. 48Which passenger may legally have an open drink in a moving vehicle on a Nevada highway?

    1. A passenger in a limousine or party bus operated for hire
    2. A back-seat passenger in a private car
    3. Any passenger 21 or older
    4. Anyone, as long as the driver is sober

    Answer: A. A passenger in a limousine or party bus operated for hire

    An open container in a vehicle's passenger area is a misdemeanor (NRS 484B.150), except in vehicles used mainly to carry passengers for pay, such as limos and party buses. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

49. 49Who sets the hours alcohol can be sold in Nevada?

    1. The Commission on Postsecondary Education
    2. State law, with a 2 a.m. closing time statewide
    3. Each county or city, by local ordinance
    4. The Nevada Gaming Control Board

    Answer: C. Each county or city, by local ordinance

    State law leaves sales hours to county liquor boards and cities (NRS 244.350 and NRS 268.090). Washoe County, for example, allows sales 24 hours a day. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

Fights and disturbances

50. 50Which signs often come before a fight in a bar?

    1. Customers ordering food
    2. A customer asking for water
    3. A group paying separately
    4. Raised voices, staring, and squaring up to someone

    Answer: D. Raised voices, staring, and squaring up to someone

    Arguments, threats, staring and aggressive body language usually come before violence. Spotting them early gives you time to calm things down or get help. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

51. 51Two customers start arguing loudly. What should a server do first?

    1. Step between them to separate them
    2. Ignore it unless someone throws a punch
    3. Tell a manager or security right away and keep a safe distance
    4. Give both a free drink to calm them down

    Answer: C. Tell a manager or security right away and keep a safe distance

    Bring in a manager or security early, while it's still words. Don't put yourself between the people arguing, and don't serve them more alcohol. Review this in the Nevada alcohol card guide

52. 52A fight breaks out and someone pulls a weapon. What should staff do?

    1. Keep serving the other customers
    2. Lock the doors so no one can leave

How the real exam works

You take a course from a provider on the Commission on Postsecondary Education's approved list, in a classroom or online, then a closed-book final exam that covers six subjects. You need 75% in each subject, and the CPE requires the exam to be taken in person with a proctor, even after an online course. When you pass, the provider issues a plastic alcohol education card that's good for four years. Our Nevada Alcohol Awareness Card: Who Needs One and How to Get It covers who needs the card, the 30-day deadline, and the other cards Las Vegas workers carry.

These are our own practice questions, written from Nevada's statutes and regulations, county and city codes, and federal guidance on how alcohol affects the body. FoodHandlerGear isn't affiliated with the Commission on Postsecondary Education, TAM of Nevada, or any other training provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these the real TAM card exam questions?

No. Each approved provider writes its own final exam as part of its CPE-approved course. These practice questions cover the six subjects every Nevada course must teach, so if you can explain these answers, you're ready.

What score do I need to pass the Nevada alcohol awareness exam?

75% in each subject on the final exam, not just 75% overall (NAC 394.730). A weak score in one subject can fail you, so check your by-topic results here.

Can I take the exam online?

The course can be online, but the CPE requires the final exam to be proctored in person at a location it approves.
