St. Albert… If you’re a youthful looking 30-year-old, you may often find yourself getting asked for identification when purchasing liquor or entering licensed premises. Lucky you, because this means that the licensee is complying with the AGLC’s policy, which requires the licensee and staff to ask for identification from anyone who appears to be under 25 years of age.
This summer, the AGLC is again conducting an audit of licensees to ensure they are complying with the policy and preventing underage Albertans from entering minors-prohibited premises or attempting to purchase liquor.
