What must an employee verify before serving alcohol to a person?

  1. The person's weight

  2. The person's identification

  3. The person's occupation

  4. The person's physical condition

The correct answer is: The person's identification

Employees must verify the person's identification before serving alcohol to ensure that the customer is of legal drinking age. This is a crucial responsibility for anyone serving alcohol, as it helps prevent underage drinking and complies with state laws and regulations. In Texas, an individual must be at least 21 years old to legally purchase or consume alcoholic beverages. While factors like a person's weight, occupation, or physical condition may influence responsible alcohol service, they are not legally mandated verification requirements. The primary focus of the law is to confirm that the individual is of legal age through valid ID, which usually involves checking for an acceptable form of identification such as a driver’s license or a state-issued ID card. This process is aimed at protecting the establishment from legal repercussions and promoting the responsible service of alcohol.
