If someone under the age of 21 is found to be using a fake ID or someone else's ID to buy alcohol, they can be arrested and have their license revoked or suspended for a minimum of 90 days or up to one year. Licensees charged by the SLA with underage sales face civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation, with fines ranging from $2,500 to $4,000 for a first-time offense.
