The TIPS program trains servers and sellers of alcohol to detect and prevent intoxication in
customers. TIPS training enhances the people skills of the servers and sellers of alcohol.
Program participants are trained by a certified instructor to detect the signs of intoxication
and gain the confidence needed to intervene effectively to prevent alcohol-related problems.
Participants also learn to identify underage people and people who are already intoxicated.
Two different versions of the TIPS program is offered each tailored to the specific site where
alcohol is sold or consumed.
