Who is allowed to pour and serve an alcoholic beverage?

  1. Any employee regardless of age

  2. Employees over 21 years of age

  3. Only the licensee

  4. Employees with a special permit

The correct answer is: Employees over 21 years of age

Employees over 21 years of age are allowed to pour and serve an alcoholic beverage because they are legally allowed to consume alcohol according to state laws. Option A is incorrect because underage employees are prohibited from consuming, possessing, or serving alcohol. Option C is incorrect because the licensee is responsible for ensuring that employees who serve and sell alcohol are trained and have the appropriate permits. Option D is incorrect because a special permit does not automatically grant an employee the right to serve alcohol.
