How old do you have to be to serve alcohol in the US?

Question

im 20...im just wondering if i could get a waitressing job at say outback steakhouse....or a place that serves alcohol?

Answer 1

Go for the job!

In this state well drinks are 21 but unopened bottles of beer and wine the age is 18.

But in a chain restaurant like Outback there are enough employees to get someone else to take the drinks to a table for you. (Just remember to share a little of your tips or help them out in return)  Also the management of those chains are highly trained in policy and procedures needed to maintain their liquor license. – So don’t worry about it.

Answer 2

It depends on which state you live. This link has a list of ages for each states. So just look up the state you live in and it should tell you.

Every state is different. I live in Texas and here you have to be 18 to serve an open alcoholic beverage. Research it for the state you live in.

Answer 10

You can be 18 in Wisconsin.  These people act like you are stupid for asking, but don't worry-it is a valid question as you can be 18 in several states.

Answer 11

21

Answer 12

Alcohol is wrong. People may say moderation is good? How to measure? If everyone in the world are drunk, and is legally right, and a personal 'right" to do so...could you realize what I'm trying to say? Many families are broken, gone bankrupt, commit suicide, made stumble, public nuisance, societal immorality, and so on...

You can't stop people drinking, but you could avoid being a part of the "game".

Answer 13

21, the smae as the legal age to drink...prety harsh i reckon as legal age in australia is only 18!!! and you can serve drinks then.

Im sure you could still get a job there, however you would not be able to serve alcholic drinks until you are 21 :)
