Sec. 6-33Furnishing to persons not of legal age

Last changed 2012
Plain English: what this chapter covers

This is the rulebook for selling, serving and drinking alcohol in Ashburn. It covers who can get a beer, wine or liquor license and how the city council grants, renews, suspends or takes one away; what hours stores and bars can sell; rules for events, BYOB ('brown bagging') and catering; the city's alcohol excise taxes; and a ban on drinking or open containers on city streets and property.

No person, who is the holder of any alcoholic beverage license issued by the city nor any agent, servant or employee of the business in which any such license is utilized, shall in connection with the operation of the business in which such license is utilized sell, provide, give, furnish or distribute any alcoholic beverage to any person who has not attained legal age. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person shall be in violation of the provisions hereof in the event that (i) such person has been furnished with identification showing that the person who is being furnished with alcoholic beverages has attained legal age and (ii) under the surrounding circumstances the person so furnished such identification could reasonably conclude that the person furnishing such identification had attained legal age. For purposes of this section, the term "identification" means any document issued by a governmental agency containing a description of the person such as the person's photograph or other written description of and providing the person's date of birth, and shall include, without being limited to, a passport, a military identification card, or a driver's license.
