Female bartenders: their perspectives on bartending and alcohol use.

This study of 20 female bartenders finds that while they are very customer oriented, they do not use their discretion to cope with problem drinkers. They are willing to undergo alcoholism education in order to be more helpful. Thus they have potential for assisting in the societal task of reducing alcoholism.
