Question: A server mistakenly serves alcohol to an underage patron who presents a fake ID. Who could be held liable in this situation?

Answer options:

  • Only the underage patron for using a fake ID.
  • Only the server for failing to properly verify the ID. ✅ The server, the licensee (establishment owner), and potentially the underage patron.
  • Only the AGLC for not providing better ID training.

Correct answer: The server, the licensee (establishment owner), and potentially the underage patron.

Explanation: In Alberta, liability for serving alcohol to a minor extends beyond just the individual server. The server can face fines or license suspension, the licensee (establishment owner) can face fines, liquor license suspension, or cancellation, and the underage patron can also face charges for using false identification. AGLC is responsible for training standards, not direct liability in this scenario.
