Legal Age

The legal drinking age on PEI is 19. Beer, wine and liquor are sold at outlets across the Island which are open Monday to Saturday. The import of liquor into the province is regulated. Drinking on any public beach on the Island is against the law.

Minors may be present in licensed lounges between 11 am and 8 pm if accompanied by parents and a meal is ordered.

Environmental Health staff conduct regular inspections and compliance checks with retailers to ensure tobacco is not being sold to youth under the age of 19. People may be asked for identification.
