How long does a Bartender License last?

Regular refreshers are the key to compliance, which is why renewing your alcohol seller/server license is generally recommended every 2-3 years.  Check with your employer or local liquor board for specific requirements.

Why should I take Mississippi alcohol server training?

Owners and managers of establishments licensed to sell alcohol want you to understand the law because the stakes can be high if you break it. The Mississippi Office of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) enforces stiff penalties for underage drinking. Selling alcohol to a minor is punishable by up to $2,000 fine, up to one year in jail, or both.

And ultimately, they could lose their license.

That's why some employers require bar cards and why it gives you a leg up even with the employers that don't. Your certification is evidence you know how to reduce your legal liability.

Additionally, you're in a unique position as an alcohol seller or server to help keep your customers safe and prevent drunk driving in Mississippi. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were a total of 2,560 people killed in crashes involving a drunk driver in Mississippi from 2003 to 2012—which is nearly twice the national average.
