Who qualifies as an alcohol server for responsible beverage training requirements?

  1. Only the manager of the premises

  2. Anyone involved in checking ID and handling alcoholic beverages

  3. Only employees over 21

  4. Only security personnel

The correct answer is: Anyone involved in checking ID and handling alcoholic beverages

Those who are responsible for checking identification and handling alcoholic beverages are considered alcohol servers and are required to undergo responsible beverage training. This includes not only the manager of the premises, but also any other employees who are involved in serving or selling alcohol. While employees over 21 may be qualified to serve alcohol, responsible beverage training is required for all employees involved in the sale or service of alcohol. This includes not only servers, but also bartenders, cashiers, and security personnel. Therefore, option B is the most comprehensive and accurate answer.
