Question: A customer orders a pitcher of beer for their table of four adults. After pouring the first round, the server notices a visibly underage individual (confirmed to be 17 years old) has joined the table and is starting to pour themselves a glass from the pitcher. What should the server do IMMEDIATELY?

Answer options: ✅ Remove the pitcher and inform the entire table that no liquor can be served or possessed by minors.

• Ask the minor to leave the table and resume service to the adults.
• Warn the adults at the table that they are responsible for ensuring the minor does not consume alcohol.
• Replace the pitcher with non-alcoholic beverages and apologize for the misunderstanding.

Correct answer: Remove the pitcher and inform the entire table that no liquor can be served or possessed by minors.

Explanation: Under AGLC regulations, no liquor can be sold, served, or supplied to a minor, nor can a minor possess or consume liquor in a licensed premise. Once a minor is observed possessing or attempting to consume alcohol, the immediate action is to remove the source of alcohol from their reach and inform the responsible adults at the table of the rules to prevent illegal consumption. Simply warning the adults is insufficient, and asking the minor to leave (without removing the liquor) doesn't solve the immediate issue of the accessible liquor.
