Not everyone who drinks gets drunk. MYOB.

We walk in with coolers and full of beer on ice

So you’re saying I didn’t waste all those years at Faber College!

By reading the first 2 posts, it may not be a thing, but one can be certified and licensed in Florida. May not be as prominent in TV, but in high end restaurants with extensive bar service it is definitely a bonus on your application. Some offer in-house classes, then certification is required within a time period.
