What crime is committed by knowingly permitting a person under 21 to consume alcohol on-sale premises?

  1. A felony crime

  2. A misdemeanor crime

  3. A regulatory infraction

  4. A civil violation

The correct answer is: A misdemeanor crime

Permitting a person under 21 to drink alcohol on-sale premises is considered a misdemeanor crime. This means that it is a less serious offense than a felony, but still punishable by fines and/or imprisonment. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they are not the specific type of crime that is committed in this scenario. A felony is a more serious crime and a regulatory infraction and civil violation typically refer to violations of laws or regulations, not criminal offenses.
