Alcohol Seller/Server Training & Certification

Responsible alcohol vendor training equips servers with the knowledge and skills to serve alcohol responsibly and in accordance with state laws and regulations. The training aims to achieve several key objectives:

1. Reduce Underage Alcohol Sales: By educating servers on the importance of age verification and the consequences of serving alcohol to minors, the training helps to minimize underage alcohol sales.
2. Decrease DUI Fatalities: The training emphasizes the dangers of driving under the influence and encourages servers to identify and assist intoxicated customers. This proactive approach can help prevent drunk driving incidents and reduce DUI-related fatalities.
3. Enhance Compliance with State Statutes: The training familiarizes servers with state laws and regulations governing alcohol service, ensuring that they comply with legal requirements.
4. Promote Customer and Staff Safety: By teaching servers to manage intoxication, handle difficult customers, and intervene in potentially dangerous situations, the training contributes to a safer environment for both customers and staff.

While most states do not mandate responsible alcohol service training, many local ordinances require it. Additionally, all state ABC Boards and Law Enforcement agencies strongly recommend it. Participating in this training offers numerous benefits to business operators, including improved compliance, reduced liability, and enhanced safety for their establishments.
