What is the minimum age for an employee to serve alcoholic beverages in a bona fide public eating place?

  1. 16

  2. 18

  3. 21

  4. 25

The correct answer is: 18

In the United States, the minimum age for an employee to serve alcoholic beverages in a bona fide public eating place is 18 in most states. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect as they are over or under the usual age requirement. Additionally, option C may be an incorrect choice due to its association with the legal drinking age in the US, which is 21. However, this does not apply to employees serving alcohol in a public eating place. As for option D, it would be overly restrictive to require employees to be 25 years old to serve alcohol.
