Warning
Don't drink unless you're of legal age. Drink responsibly, and never drink and drive.
Step 1: Start early
Start the license and permit process as early as possible as it could take several months to get final approval.
Tip
Your local town or city government will grant the alcohol license while you need to apply for a permit through the state.
Step 2: Budget for fees
Budget for the permit and license fees which can run from a few hundred dollars to several thousand, depending on local laws.
Step 3: Complete training course
Complete a Responsible Beverage Server training course at a local vocational, technical, or adult education school if required by the state.
Step 4: Follow all rules and regulations
Follow all rules and regulations given by the community which may include proximity to minors, I.D. check stations, and security.
Tip
Use wrist bands or ink stamps to monitor I.D. checks.
Step 5: Serve food
Serve a variety of easy-to-eat finger foods to prevent people from getting too drunk, and avoid salty foods that will encourage more drinking.
Step 6: Cease sales on time
Give proper warning to all guests before ceasing the sale of alcohol promptly at the time ordered by the community or state law. Enjoy the party.
