ABC agents are proactively working to educate licensees about best practices ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is expected to draw increased business to many local bars and restaurants. If you have a licensed establishment, agents may stop in to give you a flyer and have a quick chat about safety reminders.

ABC especially wants to highlight:
•Servers should carefully check IDs to prevent underage drinking.
•Alcohol service to obviously intoxicated individuals is against the law.
•Serving staff should be up to date on Responsible Beverage Service training.
•If you plan to celebrate, ensure you have a sober ride home.

Communities across California will be hosting matches starting May 30.

If you're celebrating Cinco De Mayo tomorrow, have fun responsibly.
-Have a sober ride home.
-Don’t let buzzed or drunk friends drive.
-If you’re hosting, make sure your guests have sober rides home.
-Licensees should check IDs carefully to prevent underage drinking and not serve obviously intoxicated patrons.
