What is the legal drinking age for a person in a licensed establishment according to the Liquor License Act of Ontario?

18 years of age or older
17 years of age or older
19 years of age or older
21 years of age or older

The correct answer is: 19 years of age or older

In Ontario, the Liquor License Act sets the legal drinking age at 19 years or older. This means that a person must be at least 19 years old to buy, possess, consume or serve alcohol in a licensed establishment. This regulation exists to control the access and consumption of alcohol by young people, with the goal of preventing negative social and health consequences associated with underage drinking. In addition, anyone who serves or sells alcohol in Ontario has a legal responsibility to ensure that they do not serve or sell alcohol to anyone under this age limit, hence the importance of knowing this age if you're in a security role in licensed premises.
