ID & MinorsQuestion 70 of 80
A group of four young adults arrives and only two have IDs; the other two say they 'left theirs in the car' but want drinks now. The seller-server should:
a.Only serve alcohol to those who present valid proof they are 21
b.Serve all four since two showed ID
c.Serve the two without ID if their friends vouch
d.Serve everyone one drink while they go get the IDs
Explanation
Each person consuming alcohol must individually show valid proof of being 21, so those without ID cannot be served. Friends vouching or promising to retrieve an ID is not acceptable proof. The server may serve only the patrons who present valid identification.
