Under the Liquor License Act, as an agent of the owner, what does a security guard have the right to do if someone appears drunk or intoxicated?

  1. Use force to remove the person because they are dangerous to themselves and others

  2. Ask the person to leave and/or refuse to allow the person to enter the premises

  3. Tell the bartender to not serve them anyone and escort them to the washroom

  4. Follow them around the bar like a bodyguard and if they do anything dangerous, arrest them

The correct answer is: Ask the person to leave and/or refuse to allow the person to enter the premises

Under the Liquor License Act in Ontario, a security guard acting as an agent of the owner has the authority to refuse entry or ask someone to leave the establishment if they appear intoxicated. This is because it's the establishment's responsibility to ensure the safety of all its patrons, and an overly intoxicated person could pose a risk to themselves or others. The guard does not, however, have the right to use force to remove the person unless it's in direct response to immediate physical danger. Nor do they have authority to follow an individual around the premises like a bodyguard. Their role is to maintain the peace and safety of the premises, which includes refusing admission to intoxicated persons or asking them to leave if necessary.
