Responsible Beverage Server Coalition

Mission

The Buffalo County Responsible Beverage Server Coalition was formed with the purpose of eliminating alcohol sales to minors and intoxicated persons.

History

The Responsible Beverage Coalition formed in 2007. Local retailers in Buffalo County joined together in order to help increase awareness in the community related to underage drinking and to promote those who were taking responsible action in order to prevent the sale of alcohol to underage patrons. We would like to encourage you and your staff to participate in this coalition in an effort to share ideas and best practices.
