May a person under age 21 buy beer, wine or liquor with parental consent?
No. A person under the legal drinking age may not buy beer, wine or alcohol even if accompanied by a parent, legal guardian, or spouse who is over the drinking age. All places that sell beer, wine or liquor have a duty to ask for identification for proof of age of all persons who appear to be and might be under the drinking age. All places have the right to refuse to sell alcohol to all persons who cannot show true proof of age, even if that person is 21 years or older. It is a felony to give alcohol to a minor.
