STATE OF MISSOURI ALCOHOL RESPONSIBILITY TRAINING (SMART)


The SMART program is an interactive, web-based course available free of charge to those who own or work for any Missouri establishment licensed to sell alcohol.

It is free to all participants and available anywhere with an internet connection.  This program works very well for training staff quickly in high-turnover environments.  The Division of Alcohol and Tobacco fully supports the SMART program, and participation in this program will be considered when determining the extent of the retailer’s efforts to prevent violations.

Topics covered are:
·       Recognition of fake ID’s
·       Acceptable forms of identification
·       Prevention of service to minors
·       Typical signs of intoxication
·       Advice on how to handle disorderly, intoxicated customers
·       Laws and liability concerns related to serving underage or intoxicated customers
