Hey Kitten,

I don’t know what part of the country or world your are sending your question from, but I will tell you what sucks here in California.

As a Bartender here in California, they have recently changed the laws regarding fake id’s and fines.

If you come in with a fake I.D., and you are caught by the staff:

1). If you are under 21, but over 18, your license will be REVOKED until you reach 21.

2). If you are under 18, ANY person who accompanies you into the licensed establishment can be arrested and charged with leading to the delinquency of a minor. Your license will be revoked until you are 21.

3). The fine starts at $ 750.00 for a first offense.

If I serve you, and you have a fake I.D. Here is what happens to me:

1). I am fined $1000. ! My employer gets a fine of $700 – $2000 depending on if this is the 1st, 2nd or 3rd. If it more than the 3rd. The license of the bar will be revoked and the bar closed.

2). I will be fired! The fine must still be paid by me.

3). If I am serving in a casino or on a ship, I am banned for life from serving alcohol in casino’s or on ships.

If your friend really need to get into bars while underage, why not take him/her down to Mexico, or better yet, bring all your friends to a neutral spot and party with out the fear of losing licenses or getting fined.

Is it that bad to wait a year or two?

laws penalties for underage drinking in north carolina?

Favorite Answer:

Hey Pan,

I am guessing that the 17 year old was stopped by police and administered a Breathalyzer, since you have a B.A.C.reading of .10! If that is the case, there must be a law on the books that they can charge him with or they wouldn’t have brought him down to the station. If the police kept him for more than a few hours (unless they called his parents) then they will probably charge him with some crime.

I looked up the ABC laws in North Carolina and from what I can tell the most that he will get is a fine of about $70-$100. While the site also says that he may get jail time, I doubt it unless this person already has served juvi time for another offense and is still on probation.

The problem that I have is with North Carolina’s Motor Vehicles. Their web site is kinda sketchy, but there is a strong chance that your friend may lose his license until he reaches 18 or 21. The key word here is MAY!

There was also a big blurb on UNC Chapel Hills site that has stated that any minor caught in possession will be required to attend education classes on the dangers of drinking. However, I am not sure if the site was showing proposed text of a law or actual text of a current law (:-s).

Tell your friend to wait patiently, trust me, if they are gonna go after him, they certainly will let him know.

Try waiting to drink until he can proudly throw-up at the ripe legal age! Any conviction that he gets now will just make things harder when he can drink legally! I know! I am currently enrolled in a mandatory 18 month program, must attend AA meetings every other week, pay $1900 for the program, $2500/fine and do 28 days of picking up trash along the roads, in the middle of the summer!

Ask him to wait, please!

When is Fat Tire beer going to be imported into Indiana legally?

Hey Barbara B,

While I’ll give Hank a wink for his 35 years in the business, I’m going to use my far less of 20 years of managing bars and restaurants. I have been here in San Diego (6th largest city in U.S. until last week) for 18 years and we just started seeing Fat Tire here within the last year. When I lived in Chicago, we didn’t see Coors, East of the Mississippi River, until after 1983. The reasons are threefold:

1). Distribution. It takes a great deal of commitment to bring a substantial amount of ANY product to an unknown territory. You have to get proper storage, adequate shipping amenities and a customer service and sales staff in place.

2). Name recognition/Branding. For a brand to work, you have to commit untold amounts of cash to advertising, promotional materials, sales staff and public relations. I’ll give you a for instance; in San Diego, we have a fairly new baseball stadium, it is named PETCO Park. For the rights to name the park, it will cost Petco $68 million over 22 years. They signed this agreement hoping that if you are a baseball fan, you might be watching a game on TV from San Diego and in the back of your mind you’ll be thinking, “Hey, next time Felix needs a new collar, I’ll stop at Petco!”.

3). Feasibility. The East and West coasts of the U.S. are beer whore’s! We will drink anything that we think will make our image look cooler! $15.00 glass of wine, sure! $30.00 cocktail made with organic Guar Dung, Pass it down! But in the mainly beer portion of the U.S. (read: the Midwest) they are fierce about their brands! If you take the 20-30 name brand “Macro” brews in the Midwest, add another 200-300 “Micro” brews, it does not make sense to try to enter that market. (B-T-W, in the U.S. there are more than 575 Micro-Brewers , 85 in Wisconsin/Illinois/Michigan ALONE!). That is why Coors waited so long. They wanted to wait and let their name recognition get around to the middle of the country. It’s kinda like that designer pair of jeans, shoes, sports apparel or a style that is popular in the coasts, eventually, will be desired in the Midwest. It also works in reverse; We can not get Stroh’s or Keystone here on the West Coast.

So just so that you know, if your friend shows up from a stop in Colorado and has two cases of Fat Tire, the cops aren’t going to be knocking on your door, well, unless they are hoping you will share some with them. Legality has nothing to do with the fact that it’s not available in Indiana!

Good Drinking!

Anyone out there love Tgif’s???

Favorite Answer:

Hey Ash!

T.G.I.F.’s is a good place. Food is just OK… Drinks are for amateurs… BUT THEY SHINE WHEN IT COMES TO APPETIZERS!

Deep fried Mushrooms(discontinued), Spinach Dip, Wings, Cheese Quesadilla, the old Sampler and their little Chimichangas!(discontinued), plus they also had the Fridays three and the Jack Daniels rib sampler. They change the menu all the time on the appetizers, and it changes from state to state, but I have never been disappointed in the appetizers!

Thanks,

Bartending school near san diego.?

Favorite Answer:

Hey Mameowx,

Don’t do it! Once you get your certificate, you are given leads… Leads to places like the VFW in El Cajon, or maybe to the Por Favor in Lemon Grove, to work during lunch.. Ooh, or even better lists of many caterer’s here in San Diego that really just need someone to open beers and pour wine.

I have worked in San Diego Bars/Nightclubs for nearly 18 years. I always ask the same question to prospective bartenders; “What’s in a Rum and Coke?”. The correct answer is “Rum & Coke”, however, you would be surprised by the amount of people who actually say “Oh, and a lime, sometimes”…

My reason for the question is that with a decent listing of drinks, you should be able to make any of the basics. You know, things like screwdrivers, Cape Cods, Tequila Sunrises, etc. If you can, start out as a cocktailer or a bar-back. You will get to know how to pour a draught, cut up fruit, clean a glass and properly rotate a bar.

The things that they will not teach you in school are:

a). How to recognize a fight about to happen & diffuse it.

b). How to recognize if someone is under the influence.

c). How to properly cut someone off.

d). How to work someone for a tip without them waiting for you after work for their …favor to be repaid…..

e). What to do in an emergency.

They teach you their methods for making the drinks in their books. In 18 years, I have made only a few Grasshoppers, a couple of Harvey Wallbangers and only 1 Side Car, but I can GUARANTEE you that those drinks will be among those that you will be taught!

DO’S

=======

So save yourself the money, start in a small bar; get a decent book or look on the internet, copy drinks down on index cards,; talk to every bar manager; bartender you know to let them know you are interested; watch how bartenders make drinks; get a good list of jokes; become pashionate about sports; get yourself a selling point; learn how to change a keg; change a soda syrup.

DON’Ts

=======

Go to a bartending school; Buy any book that has the name of an alcohol on it (e.g. Old Mr. Boston’s or Seagrams book of Exotic drinks… If they don’t make the liquor, they won’t list the popular drink (:-s)); Give up hope; Go to a neighborhood where you won’t feel comfortable; work for any dirty old men (like the guy that runs Kahuna’s in P.B., he’s a pig!)

It might take you years or you could get a job in a matter of weeks! I recommend that you try the cocktailing and or bar-back thing as a way to get in the door. Us bartenders are always trying to impress somebody, even if it’s our wait staff or the bar-back. We will teach you without even knowing we are doing it!

Mostly, understand that this is a job that requires you to be on, like an actress or a stage performer. If you are having a bad day, so will your customers and you won’t make squat! Keep in mind that there will always be someone trying to take your job from you, whether it is someone who thinks that they should’ve gotten your job or someone who you had to cut off because they were acting like an a**hole!

It can be fun! It can be trying (remember most bars are open 365/year so don’t plan on being with the folks on Christmas) there are never raises, no benefits, no vacations and no paid holidays. You will run out of friends, since their get togethers are always on the weekends, and if you get to be any good, those are the nights you will be working. Boyfriends will never understand why you have to be “that friendly”! (Oh, Girlfriends too!) Do it with the thought that it is only temporary! And then have fun with it!

Good Luck,

James in San Diego
