  1. What is the legal drinking age in Ontario?

    Answer: 19

    The legal drinking age in Ontario is 19 years old, as set by the Liquor Licence Act.

  2. Under Smart Serve guidelines, a server should request ID from any customer who appears to be under what age?

    Answer: 25

    Smart Serve's 'Challenge 25' approach recommends asking for ID from anyone who appears to be under 25, providing a safety buffer above the legal drinking age of 19.

  3. Which of the following is an acceptable form of primary ID in Ontario?

    Answer: Ontario Photo Card

    The Ontario Photo Card is government-issued, includes a photo, and shows the holder's date of birth, making it a valid primary ID.

  4. What should you do if a customer presents an ID that appears to have been altered or tampered with?

    Answer: Refuse service and document the incident

    When presented with a suspected fraudulent or altered ID, you should refuse service and document the incident — only law enforcement can confiscate someone's ID.

  5. A customer who looks young presents only a health card as identification. What should you do?

    Answer: Ask for a government-issued photo ID instead

    A health card is not acceptable as primary ID because it lacks a photo; you must ask for a government-issued ID that includes both a photo and a date of birth.

  6. Under the Liquor Licence Act, what are the potential consequences for selling alcohol to a minor?

    Answer: Fines up to $100,000 and possible imprisonment

    Selling or serving alcohol to a person under 19 is a serious offense under the Liquor Licence Act that can result in substantial fines and potential jail time.

  7. Who can be held legally responsible if a licensed establishment serves alcohol to a minor?

    Answer: The server, manager, and licensee can all be held responsible

    Under the Liquor Licence Act, responsibility for serving minors extends to the server, manager, and the licensee, all of whom can face individual legal consequences.
