When can alcohol be served in Ontario establishments?

Only on weekends
Anytime during business hours
During authorized serving hours
From 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.

The correct answer is: During authorized serving hours

The correct response is based on the regulations set by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), which stipulates that alcohol can only be served during authorized serving hours. These hours are specified in the establishment’s license and can vary based on the type of license held. Establishments must adhere to these hours to comply with licensing laws designed to promote responsible alcohol service. The other options suggest limitations that do not align with the full scope of the regulations. Serving only on weekends or at specific times does not reflect the flexible licensing that can be available to establishments. Similarly, stating that alcohol can be served from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. overlooks the fact that actual serving hours depend on the specific authorization provided to each establishment rather than a blanket rule applicable to all.
