Don’t Buy for Minors
The majority of alcohol consumed by minors is obtained by a sibling or friend who is of legal age or the alcohol has been taken from home without permission.
Buying alcohol for minors isn’t a favour – it’s a crime. This crime is punishable under the law and is just not the right thing to do. The Prince Edward Island Liquor Control Commission (PEILCC) is dedicated to keeping beverage alcohol out of the hands of minors, and you can help us make sure it doesn’t happen. You are encouraged to be part of the solution and protect young people from harm by saying ‘no’ if anyone under 19 years of age approaches you to buy alcohol for them.
