Why this is the answer
The primary purpose of responsible alcohol server training and certification is to give servers and sellers the knowledge and skills to sell and serve alcohol legally and safely — chiefly by preventing sales to minors and to obviously intoxicated persons, and by intervening to reduce alcohol-related harm. Certification benefits the public (fewer alcohol-related incidents), the server (legal protection and professionalism), and the employer (reduced liability). Recognizing this purpose frames all the specific rules: they exist to make alcohol service safer and lawful.
