Can an under 18 service alcohol in a restaurant?

Answer 1

Not alcohol, no. It depends where you are. In Scotland: The law on what age a person can drink alcohol is complicated. Before the age of 18, you are not allowed to buy alcohol in pubs or shops, or drink alcohol in pubs. It is also unlawful for anyone else to buy alcohol for a person aged under 18 to consume in a pub. If you are aged 16 or 17 you are entitled to drink wine, cider or beer to accompany a meal in a hotel or restaurant. Any child over the age of five can drink alcohol at home or on other private premises. It is an offence to give alcohol to a child under 5, even in her/his own home.

Answer 2

Yes, people who are younger than 18 can buy food in a restaurant. However, if that restaurant also serves beer, wine or other alcoholic drinks, that under 18 person may not be permitted in those parts of the restaurant and would certainly not be permitted to buy such drinks.

Answer 3

The laws vary from state to state. In Virginia, for example, you can be just 16 years old and work in a liquor store or transport alcohol, you must be 18 to serve alcohol in a restaurant and 21 for all other employment involving alcohol. You must be 21 to imbibe, as in all states.

Answer 4

Sure they can. It will have to be a non-alcoholic drink. A person under 21 can not drink alcohol no matter who is present.

Answer 5

No it is illegal to serve alcohol to under age children. You may only do this in the privacy of your own home.

Answer 6

No. The person who bought the drink would face large fines and the pub does too. I'm not sure what would happen to the underaged person.

Answer 7

No, you must be 20 years of age to serve alcohol. Legal drinking age is 21.

Answer 8

Obviously not

Answer 9

no
