Study Notes
Legal Age and Identification
- Legal age to purchase alcohol is 21 years; a person born on January 2, 1994, is legally allowed to purchase alcohol as of January 23, 2015.
- Checking a customer’s ID for their date of birth is the best method to verify their legal age.
- Identification must include a matching physical description and a current photograph; an expired driver's license is not acceptable.
Responsibilities and Liabilities
- Sellers/servers are legally responsible for preventing sales to minors and intoxicated individuals.
- If alcohol is sold to a minor, both the seller and employer may face consequences.
- Taking a TABC course does not exempt sellers from liability in case of illegal sales.
Age Definitions and Intoxication
- A minor is defined as any person under 21 years of age.
- Signs of intoxication include slurred speech, impaired coordination, or unusual behavior; various techniques can be used to assess if a customer is intoxicated.
- Fatigue, medications, drugs, or illness can enhance the effects of alcohol.
Selling Alcohol to Minors
- It is illegal to sell alcohol to minors; exceptions do not exist even with parental presence.
- Minors may possess alcohol only when working in establishments that sell alcohol as servers.
Identification Verification
- Acceptable forms of ID include driver's licenses and state ID cards; college IDs without physical descriptions are not reliable.
- If an ID's physical description does not match the person presenting it, it should be considered potentially forged or altered.
Course Requirements
- To stay certified, sellers must complete a training course every two years.
- Common alcoholic beverages include beer, wine, and spirits; specific types must be recognized by sellers.
Special Circumstances
- In approved public entertainment facilities, patrons may enter or leave with open alcoholic beverages but must remain within the facility.
- An "on-premise" establishment refers to places like restaurants that serve mixed drinks.
