SLQ Seller/Server Liquor Qualification VIP Exam

SLQ — The SLQ (Seller/Server Liquor Qualification) is a responsible alcohol service certification required by numerous U.S. state liquor control boards for anyone who sells or serves alcoholic beverages; it tests knowledge of dram shop liability, age verification, signs of intoxication, and lawful refusal of service. No single national issuing body exists — programs are administered state-by-state (e.g., TIPS, ServSafe Alcohol, state-specific programs), typically featuring 40–50 multiple-choice questions with a 70–75% passing threshold.
