Legal Drinking Age (M.S.A.§340A.503) <br /> <br /> ...At least 21 years of age (no exceptions). It is illegal for minors to possess, consume, <br />or attempt to buy alcohol (misdemeanor). 1989 "shield law" depends upon "due diligence" <br />in I. D. Checking, "It's illegal for us to serve minors, and it's illegal for you to ask." <br /> <br />II. Valid Proof of Age (M.S.A. §340A.503 Sub.6) <br /> <br />(I) Any valid D_rJy_exZa ~ with customerts picture (1991) from any state, <br /> <br />(2) C, aaalliall ~ (1991), <br /> <br />(3) ~ OR Out-of-State-issued non-driving I.D. ~ (with pictures) are <br />also acceptable for proof of age for purchasing alcohol.

D'2 Checking ProcedUres. <br /> <br />1. ~: Personally check anyone whom you suspect is under thirty years of age, even if the <br /> person was supposedly checked already. Be courteous, respectful, and patient. <br /> "I (or We) need to see valid identification. May I see your Driver ts License, please?" <br /> <br />2. ~: Handle the I. D. yourself. Be sure you have adequate lighting. Use an I. D. Checking <br /> Guide (shows examples of out-of-state I. D.'s. To Order: 800-227-8827). <br /> Examine the birth date, expiration date, photo, and other information. <br /> <br />3. lntemlgaR: Orally quiz the subject. Look for clues of nervousness, doubt, or refusal to make <br /> eye contact with you. Demand as much "back-up" identification as you need to be sure. <br /> <br />Other tips: Obtain a signature (compare with signature on the I. D.) and/or copy the I. D. <br /> information or take an impression to make a record. (See "I. D. Documentation," p.4) <br /> <br />When in doubt, refuse the sale: NOTSURE?
