Alcohol Safety

Answer: B - It is not true that someone who is underage will get intoxicated faster than someone who is not.

It is a common misconception that teens and even people in their early 20s cannot “handle” alcohol and that this is just one of many reasons it is illegal to serve customers under 21. On the contrary, older people (primarily age 50 and up) tend to become intoxicated faster than other groups. Basically, you should never make assumptions about a customer’s age from their reaction to alcohol.
