Alcohol Server · On-Premise Rules

Regarding who may be on the premises, managers should be aware that rules about minors:

Correct answer

Vary by state and license type — some allow minors in certain areas, others restrict it

  1. A Never exist
  2. B Vary by state and license type — some allow minors in certain areas, others restrict it
  3. C Allow minors to be served
  4. D Are the same everywhere

Why this is the answer

Managers should be aware that rules about whether and where minors may be present vary by state and license type. Some licenses permit minors in dining areas of restaurants but not in bar areas; others have different restrictions. Regardless, minors may never be served alcohol. Knowing the specific rules for the establishment's license — including any areas off-limits to those under 21 — is part of a manager's compliance responsibility. Because these rules vary, managers should confirm the requirements that apply to their specific license and location.
