One in five Montgomery County liquor stores did not comply with laws prohibiting sales to customers under 21 during checks last year, but the county still performed far better than many others in Maryland.

Montgomery County inspectors had people under 21 attempt to purchase alcohol from 600 of the county’s 925 licensed establishments, and Kathie Durbin, a division chief for Montgomery County Liquor Control, said about 180 of those vendors failed to either card the youth or read the identification properly.
