The key elements of a host responsibility policy include:
- Serving alcohol responsibly
- Providing and promoting alternatives such as low and non-alcohol beverages
- Providing and promoting an appropriate selection of food
- Preventing the sale and supply of alcohol to minors
- Preventing intoxication
- Providing safe transport options
- Educating and training staff in host responsibility practices
