Who is responsible for ensuring that the beer/wine drawer is drained?

The responsibility for draining the beer/wine drawer falls to the flight attendant. This role is pivotal in the onboard service operations because flight attendants are directly involved in managing the service area and ensuring that all aspects of the beverage service are handled appropriately.

Draining the beer/wine drawer is an essential task that helps maintain inventory control and ensures hygiene and safety within the galley. By keeping track of what is in the drawer, flight attendants can effectively manage supplies and avoid waste.

Additionally, proper handling and maintenance of the galley equipment, including the beer/wine drawer, reflects the flight attendant's training and adherence to operational procedures. Other roles, such as the Captain, Lead Flight Attendant, or Purser, may oversee broader aspects of the flight and cabin crew management but are not directly responsible for the everyday operational tasks involved in the cabin service, such as draining the beer/wine drawer.
