Under the alcohol rules, which statement is true about possession?

• A. No person to whom alcohol may not be sold may possess it
• B. Anyone may possess alcohol if they are over 18
• C. Possession of alcohol is allowed if the person is attending a private party
• D. Possession is allowed if the person is over 21 and sober

Answer: (A)

Possession is governed by who the law allows to sell alcohol. If a person is someone to whom alcohol may not be sold, then they also may not possess it. That makes the statement about no person to whom alcohol may not be sold may possess it the correct one because it directly reflects the rule that eligibility to purchase translates to eligibility to possess. Age alone or being at a private party doesn’t automatically grant possession rights, since the law still restricts who may be sold alcohol. And even though someone is over 21 and sober, there can be contexts or locations where possession is still regulated beyond simple age and sobriety, so that blanket permission isn’t universally accurate.
