If another guest claims that the person is of legal age, what is the proper action?

• A. Accept the other guest’s claim.
• B. Let them drink with a guardian present.
• C. Inform the group but still serve.
• D. Do not rely on others; require the guest to present their own valid ID and verify age.

Answer: (D)

Age verification must be done by checking the guest’s own government-issued photo ID to confirm they meet the legal drinking age. Relying on another guest’s claim isn’t reliable and can lead to underage drinking if the claim is false or the ID is forged. The correct approach is to ask for the guest’s own valid ID, verify the date of birth, and ensure the ID is not expired before serving. If a valid ID can’t be provided, do not serve alcohol. A valid ID typically shows a clear photo, name, date of birth, issuing authority, and an expiration date.
