Michigan law allows adults 21 and older to serve alcohol as bartenders. Bartenders cannot buy alcohol with fake identification and are not allowed in the workplace to drink. It is also illegal to drive while under the influence of alcohol.
Legality of drinking on the bartenders' job
Bartenders can be fired for drinking while on the job. Whether it's at a restaurant, bar, or craft brewery, the rules vary slightly depending on your location. Some states have made it illegal for bartenders in certain states to serve alcohol on the job. This makes it important to know the state's laws and company policies. If you are caught drinking on the job, you can be fined and charged with a misdemeanor.
Many businesses do not allow employees to drink on the job. This can adversely affect their performance as well as cause problems for their business. Intoxicated bartenders might have a harder time pouring drinks properly and keeping track of orders. This could lead to hostile work environments.
Requirements for obtaining a bartending license
It is important to have the right training before starting your career as bartender. There are some states that require you to attend formal bartending school and earn a license. But if you live in Michigan, you should not worry - the requirements are relatively straightforward.
At least 18 years of age is required to begin a career in Michigan as a bartender. Employers in Michigan will require you to hold a high school diploma. You should however attend a bartending class if your goal is to work in a fine restaurant or bar.
