Who can't i serve alcohol to and why?!
Who can't i serve alcohol to and why?
Answers:
The answer "Under 18's- it's the law" or somesuch is a little incongruous and doesn't address the question...
The situation in the UK is more complex than suggested:
As a private individual:
On private property, you may give (or serve) alcohol to whomever you please- provided they are not paying for it (that would be illegal for a good number of reasons) it doesn't matter how old they are. Now saying that, if I were to get a baby liquored up, I may be locked up for abuse, but that doesn't make the original act necessarily illegal.
In public, giving alcohol to those under the age of 18 may be interpreted as 'buying' for them, which would be illegal.
In licensed premises:
Off-licenses and pubs/bars may only sell alcohol to individuals of 18 or over, within their licensing hours. They may not serve those who are already intoxicated and they may not serve those who they believe to be buying alcohol for individuals under the age of 18. Service to anyone is at the discretion of the licensee.
Restaurants may serve alcohol to anyone from 16 or over with a meal, but they will usually be cautious about the amount and type of alcohol they will serve to 16/17 year olds, but a couple of beers or glasses of wine pose no problems in my experience.
anyone under 18, because its the law?!
Depends on your age (under 18 is not usually permitted!) and the laws of the state or country you live in!
.
under 18's, because it's illegal
me cos i,m not in your pub
anyone under the age of 18 because it is against the law
you cannot seve to miners and people that are allready drunk.
that is in the basic bevarage handlers course that I took. cannot have drunk people getting drunk!!
um, anyone under 21 in the U.S., and "miners," lol, for some reason
You haven't indicated whether or not you, yourself, are a minor or not, but here are some rules of thumb:
1. Minors under the age of 21
2. Pregnant women
3. Diabetics
4. Alcoholics in recovery
5. Dependent adults that don't have the mental capacity to make an informed consent
6. A doctor, dentist, or airline pilot on their way to work
7. The police officer that just pulled you over for a DUI
8. The gardner that's about to trim your hydranges
9. The girl next door that wears those short shorts you love
10. Yourself if you are any one of the above!
Duh. Under 18 or 21 (depends on beverage) and minors. It is the law.
i don't know why people say 18 in the states it's 21 to drink.....and if you are the bartender you reserve the right to refuse service to anyone
a known prostitute, a police officer on duty , anyone under 18 , anyone who you suspect is buying drinks for a minor, , a drunk , and anyone who you suspect is buying drinks for a drunk.
According to the licensing laws in England there are a few people you can't serve alcohol to, these include.......
1) A Policeman in uniform.
2)Anyone under the age of 18.
3)Anyone you know to be under th influence of drugs or alcohol.
4)A known prostitute.
These are the main ones they want you to name when you go for a alcohol license in a British court.
Hope this helps.
Anyone under 18, or anyone already intoxicated.
-Under 18s
-Yobs
-People who u think are under the influence of it already
-People who look like they will cause trouble/are causing it
-People who are barred from the place where you serve it
If you have to ask....... don't.
No one go in to the mining business because apparently you aren't allowed to drink if you're a miner. You're in big trouble if you're a minor miner.
Minors. In the UK that means people under the age of 18.
Anyone you suspect to be under 18 years old or if you think an older person has been sent to buy it on their behalf.
People who are under age, depending on what country you are in this age varies, where I live in Australia it's 18, this is because it's illegal to serve alcohol to minors, both you and the establishment can get huge fines if caught serving alcohol to minors.
Also you probably shouldn't serve alcohol to those who have already had too much to drink.
There are courses you can do in Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) that will teach you who you can and can't serve and why, they will also teach you how to recognise if someone has had to much to drink. Most bartending courses will have this as part of them.
Most of the groups are already listed here, but here is the complete list as given to me when I was running bars 6 years ago (UK).
1. Anyone under the age of 18 (16-18s can drink a limited amount with a meal) AND anyone you suspect to be buying drink for under 18s.
2. Anyone you suspect to be under the influence of drink or drugs already (this is a nice catch-all for Friday nights!)
3. Any member of the emergency services in uniform (fire, ambulance, coast guard, police).
4. Known prostitutes - a weird one this, but has to do with the laws governing prostitution and brothels. Basically they shouldn't be allowed to solicit in bars, but as their working hours are flexible they have to be denied at all times.
You can legally serve 'barred' people as they are denied drink at the landlord's discretion, not by the law. Some bars have particular policies on work clothes/football colours/hi visibility clothing etc - but again these are the landlord's preference and not legally binding. You may get fired but you won't get prosecuted!
if you are 18 + you can serve alcohol but you cant serve it to
anyone under 18
a policeman on duty
anyone clearly too drunk
anyone you think may be buying it for people under the age of 18
it should be against the law to serve pregnant women
minors the law says their not old enough to drink and lil larry uncle he'll get drunk and fall out on the neighbors porch again
