Which of the following is NOT a policy for monitoring minors seeking alcohol service?

• A. Minors finding secluded locations
• B. Check IDs
• C. Refuse service
• D. Monitor for signs of intoxication

Answer: (A)

In monitoring minors seeking alcohol service, the goal is to verify age, prevent illegal drinking, and keep patrons safe. Checking IDs is essential because it confirms whether someone is legally old enough to drink. Refusing service when someone is underage or appears intoxicated is a standard safeguard to prevent illegal drinking and reduce risk. Monitoring for signs of intoxication helps staff intervene early and stop service to someone who is impaired, protecting the individual and others around them. The scenario where minors find secluded locations is not a policy; it decreases supervision, increases safety risks, and runs counter to responsible service practices.
