The code references the actual statute under Georgia law. Here it is for you to review:

560-2-2-.03 Sales to Minors; Exceptions. Amended.
No licensee, employee of such licensee, or any person acting on behalf of such licensee shall give, sell, offer to sell, furnish, cause to be furnished, or offer to furnish any beverage alcohol to any person who is under the lawful drinking age as established by
this Title.

Repealed: New Rule entitled “License Application: Citizenship and Residency” adopted. F. Oct. 23, 1969; eff. Nov. 1, 1969, as specified by the Agency.

I have been unable to find what the fine is going to be--however this isa strict liability offense, meaning that there should not be a difference between a first offense, and a subsequent offense. I strongly urge you to contact the Georigia Department of Revenue Alcohol/Tobacco or your county office (from what I reviewed, thse fines can be county specific).

Sincerely,

XXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX XXXXXX, Esq.

By law, you have to ask for ID, but if the ID is not shown, OR the ID is false you are still liable--the law only cares if the person purchasing is an actual minor. If you sell, even by mistake, you are liable.

Since you are not sure if the person was a minor or not, demand a copy of the citation and evidence against you from the Dept of Revenue, and also ask them as to what the fine is going to be--be aware that if they feel that you are a habitual seller of liquor to minors, they may ask to remove your license.

Sincerely,

XXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX XXXXXX, Esq.
