Is it acceptable to serve liquor to someone suspected of being a minor if they sign a certification of age?

Serving liquor to someone suspected of being a minor, even if they sign a certification of age, is against the law. The legal framework governing the sale and distribution of alcohol is designed to prevent underage drinking and protect the health and safety of young individuals. Accepting a signed certification does not negate the responsibility of the server or establishment to ensure that they are not serving alcohol to a minor.

Individuals who are carded and appear underage can be denied service regardless of any documents they present. This approach upholds the law's intent, which is to make sure that alcohol is only consumed by those of legal age, and helps to avoid potential legal repercussions for both the establishment and the person serving the alcohol. This emphasizes the importance of vigilance and caution in the oversight of alcohol sales.
