Question: When is it permissible for a server to serve alcohol to a customer who appears to be slightly underage but has an older friend who vouches for them?
Answer options:
- Always, if an older friend confirms their age.
- Only if the friend is also showing their ID. ✅ Never, unless the underage individual provides their own valid, acceptable identification.
- If the server feels confident in the friend's testimony.
Correct answer: Never, unless the underage individual provides their own valid, acceptable identification.
Explanation: Servers must always verify the age of any individual who appears to be under 25 by checking their own valid, acceptable identification. Relying on a friend's testimony, even if the friend is older and has ID, is not sufficient and could lead to serving a minor, which is a serious offence under the LLCA.
