Bartend at age 18, but not legally drink until your 21.

[gittyup]

I never understood this. Maybe it's just me.

 

[FettsBabe]

You can't where I live.

 

[gittyup]

It must be a state to state thing?

 

[myputer]

That is legal where I live and I can't understand why. There is a bar down the street from my house that you have to be 21 to enter but you can work there at 18.

 

[vi edit]

In Illinois, the cashiers can't even run the alchol over the scanners (in supermarkets) unless they are 21. If they are under 21, you have to scan your own booze.

 

[Electric Amish]

Hmm...not legal here either.

amish

 

[amnesiac]

In CA you have to be 21 before you can work and serve alcohol.

 

[scorp00]

In south carolina you can be 16 and scan alcohol at a grocery store. I think that someone that is 18 has to be working at the same time is the law. Because you have to be 18 to work at a gas station.

 

[loup garou]

You can do it here (New Orleans)...lots of my friends were bartenders senior year in HS.

 

[IamDavid]

Bartenters and servers have to be 21 around here.

It makes sense because for lots of people in college tending bar and waitering is one of the only sources of good income.

Exactly.

By being 18 you're able to work a good job and make money.

 

[arod]

never understood that either, you can serve it but not drink...

dunno

 

[breakit23]

Your not supposed to be drinking on the job in the first place so the age doesnt havce much of an effect.

Wrong at all resturants you can serve alchohol at the age of 18 I know this because I worked at a resturant that had a bar and I was allowed to &quot;run&quot; the bar in the tenders absence.

That was all when I was 18 not 21.

The A.B.C. of CA rules are in every resturant that has liqour licence, I cant find them on the web now though.

 

[LordMaul]

In IL you have to be 18 to SERVE a drink, IE Waitress/Waiter, but you have to be at least 21 to pour/mix the drink.

here's a bizzare one, here a 16/yo girl can strip in a bar ti'll 3am but can't take a light beer or go and see a p0rno at the theatre.

 

[crazyjoekuta]

SIXTEEN???? that's too young... i mean.... how would you feel about a 15 year old stripping? see, 16 is pretty close to 15, which is WAY too close to 14, and then 13??? now we're on the edge of 'teen! 12 year olds????? we have 12 year olds stripping????? Whats' next, 11 year olds stripping? WHERE HAS THIS WORLD COME TO?!?!?!? WHY ARE 11 YEAR OLDS ALLOWED TO STRIP?!?!?!

 

[rubix]

LOL when will this madness end?

 

[aimn]

I agree. I figure if you are old enough to be drafted, go get killed during war, that you should be able to have a beer, legally.

Uhh....calm down man - the age is at 16, not 11

I find that hard to believe.

 

[Noriaki]

16 year olds stripping....I think 18 is quite young to partake in pornos....

 

[Colt45]

where i come from they don't sell booze in grocery stores....:Q

 

[Dually]

Kinda odd but very funny.
