State liquor laws do not regulate age restrictions for admittance to liquor establishments. It is the decision of local municipalities to regulate this restriction. Please refer to your local liquor laws for guidance. Please note that in several of the listed circumstances, a simple matter of a rescheduling the compliance check will eliminate the cause of concern. Calculating the age of a customer can be very difficult.
Clerks often try to subtract the year in which a customer was born from the current year.
This can be a cumbersome calculation, especially when this calculation must be done in their head. The Commission's training guides are excellent tools for managers to use when training their employees. However, managers cannot rely on simply telling their clerks how to verify the age. Clerks must practice the process to become comfortable and proficient. That is why the Commission's training guides utilize various exercises to promote skill proficiency.
