Since the drinking age is 21, what is a 19-year-old (at most) doing working in a bar?

In Michigan, even though the drinking age is 21, one needs only be 18 to serve alcohol.

Bingo.. first of all what was she doing there, Second of all.. if she had asthma SO BAD that a whiff of smoke would put her in an early grave.. what was she doing IN a bar instead of a plastic bubble.

You don't have to be 21 to work in a bar. You have to be 18 to serve a drink, but even a 16 year old can work there bussing tables or washing dishes.

In the US, 18 year olds are legally adults in all respects with the exception of drinking.

i work at a bar. the cocktail waitresses are 19 and hot! why do you think they get hired? they make more money.

thankfully, smoking is not allowed. i wouldn't work there if it was. nothing worse than going home reeking of smoke.
