making such sale or delivery, demand presentation of some form of
positive identification, containing proof of age, issued by a public
officer in the performance of his official duties.

A. The possession
and dispensing or consumption by a minor of alcoholic liquor in the

by this chapter.
B. Social
host restrictions. It is unlawful for any parent or guardian to knowingly
permit his or her residence, any other private property under his
or her control or any vehicle, conveyance or watercraft under his
or her control to be used by an invitee of the parent's child or the
guardian's ward, if the invitee is under the age of 21, in a manner
that constitutes a violation of this chapter. A parent or guardian
is deemed to have knowingly permitted his or her residence, any other
private property under his or her control or any vehicle, conveyance
or watercraft under his or her control to be used in violation of
this chapter if he or she knowingly authorizes or permits consumption
of alcoholic liquor by underage invitees. Nothing in this subsection
shall be construed to prohibit the giving of alcoholic liquor to a
person under the age of 21 years in the performance of a religious
ceremony or service in observation of a religious holiday. For the
purposes of this subsection, where the residence or other property
has an owner and a tenant or lessee, the trier of fact may infer that
the residence or other property is occupied only by the tenant or
lessee.
[Added at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions,
Art. I)]

for which a license has been issued at any time upon the verbal request
of the Chief of Police, any police officer, the Zoning Administrator,
