What is the legal drinking age in Ontario?

  1. 19

  2. 18

  3. 20

  4. 21

The correct answer is: 19

The legal drinking age in Ontario is 19. This means that anyone aged 19 and over is legally allowed to buy, possess, and consume alcohol in the province. This law is part of the Liquor Licence Act of Ontario that sets out the legal age for alcohol consumption. Age limits vary by country and region, but in Ontario, as is common in many parts of Canada, the legal age limit is set at 19 to balance the risks and benefits of alcohol consumption. The aim of setting a legal drinking age is to protect younger individuals who may be more susceptible to the harmful effects of alcohol, while also recognizing the rights of adults to make their own decisions about alcohol use. Therefore, the correct answer is 19.
