Question: A group of six young adults enters your establishment. You notice that one individual, who appears to be the youngest, has brought their own unopened bottle of liquor. What is the immediate and correct action you should take according to Saskatchewan regulations?

Answer options:

• Confiscate the bottle and allow the group to stay, reminding them of the rules. ✅ Inform the individual that outside alcohol is not permitted and ask them to remove it from the premises or store it securely, then monitor them.
• Ask the entire group to leave immediately, as bringing outside alcohol is a serious violation.
• Contact the police for an illegal possession of alcohol charge.

Correct answer: Inform the individual that outside alcohol is not permitted and ask them to remove it from the premises or store it securely, then monitor them.

Explanation: Permit holders are responsible for ensuring no liquor is brought onto or consumed on their licensed premises that was not purchased there, unless otherwise specified (e.g., in a BYOB licensed establishment which is rare). The immediate action is to address the outside alcohol and have it removed or secured. Confiscating the bottle (option A) could lead to conflict and is not the primary correct procedure. Asking the entire group to leave (option C) might be an overreaction if the individual complies with the request. Contacting the police (option D) is typically reserved for more serious or repeated non-compliance after initial intervention.
