If a guest cannot provide ID, what is the outcome regarding service?

  1. The guest can be served

  2. The guest cannot be served

  3. The guest can be served with conditions

  4. The guest can be served only after verification

The correct answer is: The guest cannot be served

In the context of responsible alcohol service, it is essential to verify the identity of guests to ensure that they meet the legal drinking age requirements. If a guest cannot provide identification, the establishment is obligated to refrain from serving alcohol to that individual. This policy is in place to comply with legal regulations and to promote safe serving practices. Serving alcohol without verifying a customer’s age can expose the establishment to liability issues and legal penalties. Therefore, the correct outcome in this situation is that the guest cannot be served.
