(A) No person, either directly or indirectly, by himself, clerk, agent, servant, or employee, shall at any time sell, furnish, give, or deliver any alcoholic liquor to any person unless the person shall have attained the age of 21 years. Nor shall any person, either directly or indirectly by himself, clerk, agent, servant, or employee, at any time, sell, furnish, give, or deliver any alcoholic liquor to any person who is so intoxicated as not to be in control of all his faculties.
(B) Nothing contained herein shall prohibit the sale of an alcoholic beverage to a minor upon authority of and pursuant to a prescription of a duly licensed physician.
(C) (1) Alcoholic liquor shall not be sold or furnished to a person unless the person has attained 21 years of age. A person who knowingly sells or furnishes alcoholic liquor to a person who is less than 21 years of age, or who fails to make diligent inquiry as to whether the person is less than 21 years of age, is guilty of a misdemeanor. A suitable sign which describes this section and the penalties for violating this section shall be posted in a conspicuous place in each room where alcoholic liquors are sold. The signs shall be approved and furnished by the state Liquor Control Commission.
(2) Diligent inquiry shall be interpreted to mean that the person selling or furnishing alcoholic liquor demanded, and was shown, before furnishing alcoholic liquor, a motor vehicle operator's license or a registration certificate issued by the federal selective service, or other bona fide documentary evidence of the age and identity of that person.
