In Washington State it is against the law for a bartender to drink on the
clock and off the clock at their place of employment. As a matter of fact one
of my bartenders just got fired for this exact incident (drinking on the
clock).
I've worked several places where bartenders drink, but aren't suppose to.
I've also worked places where you are allowed a shift drink (one free drink
after work). Some places let you get off work change clothes and allow you to
drink, but you pay as you go or have a tab which is taken out of your
check....
Rules are very strict in chain-type & professional establishments...local
owned bars and taverns tend to be a little lax..........
