In order to tackle alcohol-related problems in nightlife in the city of Manchester, a wide range of innovative measures have been implemented to improve the management of bars and nightclubs, create safer night time environments, and help revellers get home safely after a night out. Whilst such measures have shown success at reducing alcohol-related violence (e.g. Wheater et al, 2005), and have been recognised nationally as good practice in managing night time environments (Strategy Unit, 2004), there is growing recognition that excessive drunkenness itself needs to be tackled if long term prevention is to be achieved. Despite the fact that the service of alcohol to intoxicated individuals is illegal, the high levels of drunkenness seen in town and city centre nightlife across the country suggest that this law is often not upheld. Identifying intoxication and refusing service to individuals who are drunk can be difficult for busy bar servers, yet there is no recognised guidance and no current requirement for bar staff to be trained in this matter. Further enforcement of the law preventing service to drunks can be complicated for police, as illegal sales can be difficult to both detect and prove. In order to explore the service of alcohol to intoxicated individuals among bar staff in Manchester, the Centre for Public Health at Liverpool John Moores University was commissioned by Greater Manchester Police City Safe team to conduct a survey of bar servers working in the city (n=87 analysed questionnaires). A second, smaller survey was also undertaken of police (n=15) working in Manchester's nightlife environment to identify current perceptions and practice in enforcing alcohol service laws. This report provides the findings of both surveys and discusses their implications.
