No one is allowed to drink on the job, no matter the job....Well maybe if your job is drinking beer, doubt it though. Drinking on the job will taint ones judgement and disable them from making a thoughtful desicion, when someones life may be at a risk.
example: Severely intoxicated man wants to drive home, the bartender should stop him. If the bartender is also intoxicated, how can he make a proper judgement? He may allow this man to drive home, get into a fatal car wreckage and leave his wife and children weeping in sadness. That's why.
To answer your additional question: "What if someone offers to buy them a drink?" A legitimate bartender will reject the generous offer, knowing that he/she's judgement will be tainted. If he/she does not reject this offer, he/she should have his/her bartending license revoked. (assuming that the drink has alchoholic components in it, if it was a pepsi for example, this does NOT apply).

Hmmm, i've seen bartenders accept drinks before, but not too often.
But when you get drunk, you often get pretty generous, pouring a bit more than you should.
Once i had a friend who was bartending for a fundraiser his company was having. He drank the entire time and ended up passing out in a corner, and someone else had to take over.

every one needs to chill out about being unsafe or drunk or having a lack of judgment. half thepeople in the bar are that way. Most good bartneders are trained enough to know when to say when. drinking keeps the crowd having fun thats what a bar is all about right. Im not saying the tender should be falling down drunk but a llittle buzz will keep the party going its not that big a deal. The rules about drinkin on the job vary from state to state and bar to bar

I'm surte its for liability reasons...think about it if they're drinking on the job then they cant really do their job correctly....same as why sales associates cant shop for clothes while on the job. It distracts them from customers. Your there to work not play. And if the bartender gets drunk and becomes unsafe....not only do they lose their jobbut could potentially cost the bar owner unnecessary money.

if i am the owner, i will be broke having over poured alcohol
they will lost their job
the bar will be shut down
they cannot concentrate how much to charge customer
to my observation, my bartenders are alcohol intolerance anyway...
