I work in a restaurant where everything is halal, except for the alcohol. Occasionally I serve this to the customer, should I look for another job, as this is my only source of income?

Answer
If presently this is your only source of income, you will be excused for working there. If possible, you should avoid serving alcohol and search for an alternative income.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
