Representatives from 37 counties met in Missoula Monday to tackle underage drinking, DUI's, and ways to change Montana's drinking culture.

Monday's meeting was the fourth of five planned around the state.

The Regional DUI Task Force is working to bring more funding to fight against Montana's problems with alcohol.

"Anything the legislature can do to change Montana's culture on drinking and driving will be a godsend," says Lonie Hutchison from the DUI Task Force.

One area the task force is focusing on is overserving by wait staff and bartenders. Members would like to see a mandatory training course for anyone serving alcohol.

Task force members think it is too easy for people to get a drink at Montana bars.

"Folks really aren't clear on what the laws are," says Hutchison.

Task force members are worried bars are serving drinks too strong, and too often.

A misdemeanor offense in Montana.

That is why they want to make it required for bartenders to take a server's training course.

The course teaches the dangers of putting too much alcohol in drinks, and serving too many.

The Bodega bar in downtown Missoula is known as one of the wildest bars in town, but bartenders there, and around the city know, it is important to make sure everyone is legal and does not drink too much.

"We've had that reputation for so long, people just love to come and make stories here, at the Bodega," says Josh Beamon, a bartender at Bodega.

All servers at Bodega are required to take server training.

" We look for the way people walk, even sit there, and slurring of the words, if there is any slurring we are real careful to not serving at all," says Beamon.

Despite Bodega's strict standards, the DUI task force thinks many bars are not getting the message.

"It's where the rubber meets the road, if the servers don't understand what is expected of them, then how can we make a difference," says Hutchison.

The task force has a list of up to 15 areas they want the legislature to look into. Including, to allow officers to seek a warrant to force breathalizer tests. And, the 24/7 Sobriety Project, which would force repeat DUI offenders to take a breath test twice a day to prove they have not been drinking.

Another idea is raising drivers license reinstatement fees by $300.

The legislature will look at the ideas in January.
