What kind of individual license does an employee need to have in order to legally serve alcohol?
  1. All bartenders must be licensed with the state, but servers only need their employer’s approval.
  2. There is no such thing as a national “bartending license” or an individual alcohol service license for servers, but certain states may require certification or a “license to pour.”
  3. Bartenders must go to bartending school and pass a high-grade state licensing test, while other employees can apply directly to the state for a low-grade alcohol service license.
  4. Both bartenders and servers need to apply for a license with the local liquor authority, and this license expires after 14 months.
Explanation
Answer: B - Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as a “bartending license” or similar license for servers, though some states may require employee certification or a pouring license to serve alcohol.

That said, any establishment serving alcohol needs to have its own liquor license to do so, and there are age limits in each state for employees who can actually serve alcohol. Also, training is also required before a person is permitted to serve alcohol in any establishment.
