IT’S ILLEGAL IN NEW MEXICO FOR SERVERS AND BARTENDERS AT RESTAURANTS AND BARS TO OVER-SERVE INTOXICATED GUESTS. THAT’S ONE OF THE MESSAGES IN A NEW CAMPAIGN, CALLED “BUZZKILL,” FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. DEPARTMENT SECRETARY TOM CHURCH SAYS ALL SERVERS WILL BE REQUIRED TO SEE A NEW VIDEO ON OVER-SERVING AS PART OF THEIR STATE-MANDATED TRAINING.
LAST YEAR, 75 ESTABLISHMENTS IN NEW MEXICO WERE CITED BY POLICE FOR OVER-SERVING.
