Licensing Laws

[ivesy]

Could you please advise me as to whether if someone is working behind the bar that they are allowed to drink alcohol.

Unless the licensing authority include a specific provision in the premises licence, requiring that staff should not drink behind the bar, it's perfectly lawful to do so. (I've never heard of such a provision being imposed).

Of course, many employers have their own rules which prohibit staff from drinking behind the bar but those rules are completely separate to statute law.
