An underage person not accompanied by his or
her parent, guardian or spouse who has attained the legal drinking
age may not enter, knowingly attempt to enter or be on any premises
for which a license or permit for the retail sale of alcohol beverages
has been issued, for any purpose except the transaction of business
pertaining to the licensed premises with or for the licensee or his

receiving or consumption of edibles or beverages or similar activities
which normally constitute activities of a customer of the premises.

persons will be present on the premises.
