What is an essential method for preventing underage drinking?

  1. Check the price of alcohol

  2. Serve alcohol only with food

  3. Ask for two pieces of ID to verify age

  4. Refuse to serve anyone who looks young

The correct answer is: Ask for two pieces of ID to verify age

Verifying age through the request for two pieces of identification is essential in preventing underage drinking. This method ensures that the individual attempting to purchase alcohol is of legal age, which in British Columbia is 19 years old. By requiring two forms of ID, servers are able to validate the authenticity of the identification provided, which can help reduce the risk of accepting false or fraudulent IDs. This approach is proactive and allows staff to have a higher level of confidence in their age verification process, thus helping to uphold the law and promote responsible serving practices. Checking the price of alcohol, serving alcohol only with food, and refusing service to anyone who looks young do not directly address the need for proper age verification and might not adequately prevent underage individuals from accessing alcohol.
