Which guest is old enough to drink on March 8, 2009?

1. March 7, 1988

2. March 9, 1988

3. April 10, 1988

4. November 1, 1988

The correct answer is: March 7, 1988

To determine which guest is old enough to drink on March 8, 2009, it's essential to understand the legal drinking age, which is 21 years in many places. Therefore, a person must have been born on or before March 8, 1988, to legally consume alcohol on that date. The birth date of March 7, 1988, indicates that this guest would turn 21 years old on the very day before the specified date of March 8, 2009. Hence, this individual is legally allowed to drink on that date since they are exactly 21 years old by March 8, 2009. The other choices represent birth dates that do not meet the legal requirement of being 21 years old by March 8, 2009, as they either fall after that date or do not reach the age of 21 until later in that year or the following year. This is why the first option is the correct answer, as it clearly satisfies the requirement for legal drinking age on the specified date.
