Underage Buyer Inspection Results

The Underage Buyer (UB) program is an ongoing effort by Virginia ABC to visit alcohol retailers throughout the state to verify that licensees are complying with the state age requirement (21) for alcohol. Virginia ABC makes information on the final outcome of UB program compliance checks available to the public. This is public information and is available in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

The following downloads indicate ABC licensees that passed or failed UB inspections. Where penalties are listed, a license is suspended or the licensee has the option to pay a civil penalty unless a mandatory suspension is required, as shown in the spreadsheet, which would be in addition to the civil penalty.
