SmartServe Ontario Practice Exam

In Ontario, the legal minimum age to sell or serve alcohol is 19. This age requirement is established under the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) regulations to ensure that individuals involved in the sale and service of alcohol have reached a sufficient level of maturity and responsibility associated with handling alcoholic beverages.

Those who are 19 years or older can work in establishments that sell or serve alcohol, which includes bars, restaurants, and retail stores. This regulation is in place to help reduce the risks associated with alcohol consumption and promote responsible alcohol service.

The other age options presented do not meet the legislative standards established for the sale and service of alcohol in the province and could lead to legal ramifications for businesses that fail to comply with the minimum age requirement.
