In 1985, Oregon became the first state in the country to require training for all of its alcohol servers. The idea did not come from government -- it came from the hospitality industry itself. Oregon's restaurant association sponsored legislation which established mandatory server education for owners and employees of licensed businesses that serve alcohol by the drink.
Service permits are required for servers (i.e., waitstaff or bartenders) who work for a business that allows customers to drink alcoholic beverages on the premises; managers who directly supervise servers who mix, serve, or sell alcohol to customers for drinking at their premises; owners who mix, serve, or sell alcohol or manage services at that business; and any person who fills growlers. Applicants must be at least 18 years old and pass an alcohol server education course. Oregon was the first state in the country to require all alcohol servers to be trained. The purpose of the course is to enhance public health and safety by developing the knowledge and skills that support responsible alcohol service.
