What is the legal minimum age to sell or serve alcohol in Ontario?

The correct answer is: 18

The legal minimum age to sell or serve alcohol in Ontario is 19. This age requirement ensures that individuals responsible for the sale and service of alcohol are of sufficient maturity and are familiar with the legal responsibilities and liabilities involved in handling alcoholic beverages. Serving or selling alcohol before reaching this age limit can lead to legal consequences for both the individual and the establishment. While 16 and 18 may be seen as appropriate ages for other responsibilities or jobs, they do not meet the legal criteria established for alcohol service in the province. Similarly, while 21 is a common age limit in some other jurisdictions, it is not applicable in Ontario.
