![]() ![]() Yet this still presents us with a further problem: how do you know if the ID you are given is real? It’s against the law for a child to use a fake or borrowed ID to buy alcohol but this doesn’t mean that they won’t try.įake ID cards are easily obtained online or borrowed from older friends and siblings and so they commonly make their way into our bars, pubs, shops and supermarkets. You may already be familiar with the ‘ Challenge 25’ scheme which looks to help you with this – the scheme simply informs the customer that if they’re lucky enough to look under 25, then you will ask them for proof of age before approving the sale. By asking people to prove their age you will avoid accidentally selling alcohol to a minor and avoid facing the penalties for doing so. To help you adhere to this law it’s a good idea to ask anyone who you think may be under-age for identification. What if someone looks older than they actually are? This is a simple law to abide by but it can sometimes prove to be tricky in practice: Most people are aware that, under the Licensing Act 2003, it’s against the law to sell alcohol to anyone under the age of 18. ![]()
