What can be the consequences of serving alcohol to minors?

Serving alcohol to minors can lead to serious legal penalties and potential loss of the establishment's license. These legal consequences are rooted in laws established to protect the health and safety of minors. When an establishment is found to have served alcohol to someone under the legal drinking age, it can face fines, criminal charges against the server or establishment, and in severe cases, the revocation of its liquor license. This not only impacts the ability to sell alcohol but can also damage the business's reputation and financial standing.

In contrast, options that suggest increased sales and customer satisfaction, no significant repercussions, or an improved reputation fail to recognize the legal and ethical responsibilities involved in serving alcohol and the serious ramifications of non-compliance.
