What age must a guest be to legally serve alcohol if born on October 15, 1989?

21 years old
20 years old
19 years old
18 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

To determine the legal drinking age based on the birth date provided, it's important to understand that in the United States, the legal age to serve or consume alcohol is 21 years old. Considering the birth date of October 15, 1989, we can calculate the age as of October 15, 2020, when the individual would turn 31 years old. Since the legal drinking age is 21, anyone born on or before October 14, 2002, would meet this requirement if they were of age at that point. Therefore, a guest born on October 15, 1989, is indeed 21 years old by October 15, 2010, making the answer correctly align with the legal requirement for serving alcohol. This age restriction is critical for ensuring responsible service and consumption, promoting safety and compliance with alcohol service laws.
