ID & MinorsQuestion 55 of 80
It is January 15, 2026. A customer's ID shows a date of birth of March 10, 2005. Are they 21 or older?
a.Yes, they are already 21
b.No, they will not turn 21 until March 10, 2026
c.Yes, because 2026 minus 2005 is 21
d.It cannot be determined from a birth date
Explanation
Subtracting the years gives 21, but the birthday (March 10) has not yet occurred by January 15, 2026, so the customer is still 20. Age is only reached on the birthday itself, not at the start of the birth year. This customer must be refused alcohol.
