Our course MEETS state alcohol seller/server training requirements. The minimum age for serving alcoholic beverages is 21, except any person between 18 and 21 years of age employed in any bona fide public eating place, which is licensed for the on-sale of alcoholic beverages, may serve alcoholic beverages to consumers only if such service occurs in an area primarily designed and used for the sale and service of food for consumption on the premises, and the primary duties of the employee shall be the service of meals to guests, with the service of alcoholic beverages being incidental to such duties. All hotel/motel/etc. employees handling the alcoholic beverages to be placed in the controlled access alcoholic beverage cabinet in any guestroom, including, but not limited to, any employee who inventories or restocks and replenishes the alcoholic beverages in the controlled access alcoholic beverage cabinet, must be at least 21 years of age.

California's Dram Shop Law differs from some other states in that it places stricter limitations on holding vendors liable for serving alcohol to intoxicated patrons. Here's a breakdown of the key points: Limited Liability for Vendors: Generally, California law shields bars, restaurants, and other establishments from liability if they serve alcohol to someone who is visibly intoxicated and that person then causes harm (like a DUI accident). This means simply proving someone was served alcohol at a specific location isn't enough to win a Dram Shop case in California. Exceptions to Limited Liability: There are a few exceptions where vendors can be held liable: Serving Minors: Providing alcohol to someone under the legal drinking age (21 in California) is illegal. If a minor gets intoxicated and causes harm, the vendor who served them could be liable. Known Habitual Drunkards: If a vendor knowingly serves alcohol to a person they know to be a habitual drunkard (someone with a history of alcohol abuse), and that person then causes harm, the vendor could be liable. Gross Negligence: In rare cases, a vendor's actions might be considered grossly negligent. This could involve serving excessive amounts of alcohol to someone who is already obviously intoxicated, or encouraging them to drink more. If such gross negligence leads to harm, the vendor could be held liable. Focus on Individual Responsibility: California law emphasizes the individual's responsibility for their actions while intoxicated. This means the intoxicated person who caused the harm might be the primary target for lawsuits. What to Consider if You Believe a Dram Shop Law Applies: Consult with an attorney specializing in personal injury or Dram Shop Law. The legal complexities can be significant, and an attorney can advise you on the specific circumstances of your situation. Evidence Gathering: Building a strong case might involve gathering evidence like receipts from the establishment, witness statements, and police reports related to the incident.
