Answer:
According to the Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board regulations:
(1) It is illegal for any minor to sell, serve, dispense, or consume alcoholic beverages on licensed premises.
(2) This rule does not apply to minor employees of wholesale or off-premises retail licensees who can handle, transport, or sell beer or table wine, as long as an adult employee is present at all times.
(3) Minors can work in on-premises licensed establishments (like restaurants or bars) as entertainers, cashiers, waitstaff, etc., but they cannot serve, dispense, or consume alcoholic beverages, and an adult must be present at all times.
