18

Answer 3

You have to be 18 but you'll be hard-pressed to find someone willing to give you a bartending job if you're under the drinking age, unless you're really hot! J/K

Here's info from the TABC (Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission):

How old does a person need to be to become TABC certified and sell or serve alcoholic beverages?

There is no minimum age for attending a server training course. Depending on the type of permit held by the establishment, there may or may not be age limits for serving/selling alcohol. The limits are as follows:

Off-Premises License or Permit (e.g. most grocery or convenience stores) - no age restriction on employees

On-Premises License or Permit (e.g. bar or restaurant) – must be 18 or over to serve/sell

License or Permit (e.g. bar or restaurant) – must be 18 or over to serve/sell

Package Store (liquor store) – employees must be 21 or over

Wine Only Package Store (store that sells wine for off-premise consumption containing a higher alcohol content than your typical grocery store) – employees must be 16 or over.
