This strategy establishes the minimum age necessary for servers and clerks at alcohol establishments to legally serve or sell alcohol. In North Dakota, the minimum legal age to serve alcohol is 21 except in restaurants where 18-20 year olds may serve and collect money for alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, or spirits) if under direct supervision of an individual (manager or supervisor) who is of legal drinking age (N.D.C.C. § 5-02-06, 2013).
