Fines

• Under the Liquor License Act, anyone who is convicted of supplying alcohol to a minor can be fined up to $200,000. Incorporated licensed establishments, such as restaurants and bars, can be fined a maximum of $500,000 for serving alcohol to minors in their establishments.
  
  

Jail

• It is a felony to contribute to the delinquency of a minor. In addition to fines, the individual serving the alcohol, the owners of the establishment and any other individual directly involved in the serving of the minor faces up to 18 months in prison.
  
  

Liquor License Revocation

• It is a felony to knowingly serve, sell or give alcohol to a minor on the premise of a licensed establishment. A bar or restaurant's liquor license can be revoked after three convictions for serving alcohol to minors or to people who already are overly intoxicated. This is defined as having a blood-alcohol content of 0.14 percent within 90 minutes of being served.
  
  

Job Loss

• Even if a bartenders doe not get fined or sentenced to jail, they will lose their jobs. Bartenders who do not regularly check for identification, or those who knowingly serve minors, are a liability for businesses. Once a bartender is fired due to serving minors, or if he has a felony on his record for serving minors, finding another job bartending will be difficult, if not impossible.
