A bartender (also known as a barkeep, barman, barmaid, bar chef, tapster, mixologist, alcohol server, cocktologist, flairman or an alcohol chef) is a person who formulates and serves alcoholic or soft drink beverages behind the bar, usually in a licensed establishment. Bartenders also usually maintain the supplies and inventory for the bar. A bartender can generally mix classic cocktails such as a Cosmopolitan, Manhattan, Old Fashioned, and Mojito.

Bartenders are also usually responsible for confirming that customers meet the legal drinking age requirements before serving them alcoholic beverages. In certain countries, such as Canada, the United Kingdom, and Sweden, bartenders are legally required to refuse more alcohol to drunk customers.

Comments form Heather
Britney- Please check out the video in "Introduction to Week 5" and update your work log, sources, and paste in part or all of "Bartner" article with an evaluation. What will you improve in this article?

10/25- Good. Now it's time to make changes to the above section. Please do that for 10/27 and I'll comment next week.

10/31- Oh no, nearly all of the information you've written above is already in the "Bartender" page, with citations. What new thing will you add? If you meant to rewrite it, I'm confused because the original had no problems.

There is a possibility you could finesse this material to add to the section "United States." Want to give it a try?

''Bartenders always have to implement the local laws regarding alcohol sales (add an example of what that might be like time of closure), and must obtain a bartenders license and or a health certificate a requirement in most states. Or else it would be illegal too serve alcohol. The legal drinking age in the United States is 21 years old which is a requirement in all establishments that serve alcohol. (Unclear, is the requirement that the bartender be 21 or that patrons be 21?)''

Other than that, you have about a week to move any other changes you want to make to the main space on Wikipedia. Reach out to me if you have questions.
