Question 1

A customer presents a vertical-format driver's license. What does this format typically indicate in Maryland?

Question 3

A customer's ID shows they will turn 21 in two days. What should you do?

You must refuse service because the legal drinking age is 21, and the customer has not yet reached that age.

Question 4

Which of the following is NOT an acceptable form of ID for alcohol purchase verification in Maryland?

Student ID from a Maryland college

Answer

Student IDs are not government-issued documents and are not acceptable for alcohol age verification in Maryland.

Question 5
