If this thread gets closed I suppose I understand, I'm just looking for some helpful feedback regarding a new fake ID I just got. I'm looking to go to bars and I know of plenty of my friends who have been tricked by the bouncers with questions they ask. My question for you is what sorts of questions should I be prepared for? Here are the ones I know already:

1. Obviously the info on the ID
2. Year I graduated from high school
3. What high school I attended
4. Capital of the state I'm "from"
5. What year in college I'm in

I appreciate any help you guys can give me!

You really get put through that sort of shit? I don't even get ID'd at most of the places I go. I guess fakes are more rampant in the US where you need to be 21.

If your going to a place that has bouncers you might as well not even try depending on the scale of the place. Many have scanners/ tags that would be very hard to replicate by some basement ID copier. My friend trained as a security guard and a huge part of the course is basically recognizing fake ids on the spot.

why would you be asked where you graduated from? If you got a fake id you should have been from a far away town where the bouncer would have no idea about that kind of information.

but yeah i was never even ID'd

One thing that sadly catches some people by surprise is how old you "are."

you can repeat all you want that your birthday is 7-11-1988 but how old does that makes you? dumbass friend of mine lost that one pretty bad.

Well given that you're from the US I can understand that sentiment, 21's a joke. I don't think the thread itself goes against the Ten Commandments (of TL) and you're not proposing anyone do anything illegal, however rule #1 may apply.

Anyway as for questions, as you said, know the info on your ID, and don't fuck yourself over by showing a credit card or whatever (while pulling it out) with a dif name(assuming your fakeid doesn' have your own name). Similarly they'll maybe know the state you're from(the way you wrote it suggests you're not from the state your id says you are) so whatever town/shit is written on it be sure u know major sites or some shit if they randomly ask. Mostly just don't appear super cool or super nervous, both I think let bouncers know something is up straight off the bat.

I don't know but if you get busted you are basically screwed. I wouldn't recommend using it, just wasted money.

Well, if you're faking that you're not from nearby, then unless the dude is by chance from that area, he'll probably just be reading your eyes and body language. Just be good at lying.

I doubt it considering half my friends had fake ID's in high school.

I don't even use a fake. Just walk in like you belong there and you shouldn't get shit, if they card you then just casually hand it to them. Half of working a fake is acting like it's routine.

Man I went to a strip club when I was 20 (In Canada) with my legit ID, and because I had lost 50ish lbs the guy totally didnt believe it was me, refused to let me enter, and wanted to keep my ID and destroy it. Was totally retarded.

That.
My friend who is underage got carded, she gave her real ID as if it was natural, the guy only checked the year (she were going to be old enough in 3 months) and let her in.

I hope you get caught with your fake id and go to jail. There are reasons why you have to be 21 to enter bars/clubs.

Yes. Does the fake have your picture on it? That helps. Some clubs just look really closely at the holograms, will compare the eyes etc. and it might just not work.

So act natural, know what's on it, and hope for the best.

Edit: And every bar is used to seeing fakes. You won't probably go to jail if you fail, just not be allowed in. But there are obviously legal risks.

Amazing first post.

I've known plenty of people throughout college who had fake IDs. Like others have said, be sure to know your age (not just birth DATE, YEARS FOO!), and relax. If you're super nervous it throws off signals. As long as where you are doesn't use machine scanners and is hand checking them, knowing the info on the card inside and out should cut it for you.

It's not worth it man. Not only for the trouble you can get into (which can be quite a bit) but the trouble you can get the establishment you drank at into as well (which just isn't fair to them).

If you must drink get your parents to get it for you and drink at home and stay there. It's cheaper and safer that way.

Seriously though, what the hell?! It's as if this guy made a TL account cuz he just HAD to make this comment. In my opinion (as well as personal experience)the years between 17 and 21 rarely give you the experience / proper judgement which the law pretends magically instills within you the day you turn 21. In short, I know a few people under 21 who would N - E - V - E - R drive while drunk, and meanwhile i know 3 people who have over 10 DUIs between them and they STILL fucking do it every weekend. Two of these people are 25 years old and the other is like 33. There IS a reason you have to be 21, sure, it's the law. Is there a GOOD reason? Debatable. Poor first post is poor.

You can get in a lot of trouble for having one, so definitely be careful when using it.

The places my friends use it are places where they don't scan it, and sometimes don't even bother to ask for ID.

Also, if you're using one, be sure to know the information printed on it (ifyour name/area code/etc are different) because I know a few people who have been asked their area codes or addresses because the cashier suspected it was fake.

An alternative that works is to use a real ID of someone who looks like you and is over 21, though only a few of my friends use this because it's a lot more difficult to obtain.

She got busted because of the way she acted when the question was asked, not because she didn't know what her horoscope sign was.

Don't go to high end clubs, go to bars and shady places. There you are much less likely to get problems from the guy who checks you ID.

Know what horoscope sign you have and how old you are supposed to be. Mostly, just appear calm, like you do this everyday.

Something I might add as well is that worrying about what a bouncer might ask is an unnecessary headache, because the question he asks is irrelevant. He will judge if your ID is fake or not by how you act and the manner in which respond to the question he just asked.

Sure, not every bouncer is a genius at reading people, and you don't have to be either. It just takes basic knowledge and experience and you learn the classic signs of a kid with a fake ID.

The question doesn't matter, it's how you respond to the question that will give you away, not that you didn't know the answer.

Hahaha, I know people who've tried to get 'passports' from other nations so that they aren't checked out as fully. Suffice to say, it rarely ever works.

In DK you can buy beer at age 16 in shops, 18 for harder liquor and to go to bars... It is public knowledge that thursday = 16 year olds in every single bar, some places even 14 year olds. And really, it isn't that bad of a mess ^^

Personally I've never been ID'ed (even when I was 16, then again I didn't go to bars too often), yet my 8 years older sister (who is now 30) gets ID'ed EVERY single time without fault - which is pretty hilarious

Like everyone else has said, it's all about being confident about your fake age and story. Obviously you should know whatever info the card says on it but by fast the most important thing is to act like you belong there and go every day.

Don't be nervous or unsure even if you are, the key thing is to be cool.

That doesn't make any sense at all.

I'm getting the impression that people are going through an unnecessary and needless amount of effort in order to get a fake ID. Why bother with that when you can just keep all the information EXACTLY the same, and just change your age by two or three digits? You already know everything about you, and the bouncer doesn't know how old you really are because you've never met him before.

If I made a fake ID, it would have exactly my details on it and I would be one or two years older. If you're 19 and it says you're 21 the bouncer can't tell the difference by just looking at you. If it's a fake ID and they catch you they'll either keep you there until it's confirmed to be real and they let you go or they keep you there and you get arrested (or whatever they do) for having a fake ID.

Why would I go through the unnecessary headache of having to study my fake ID when I already know myself and now I'm magically just a bit older. What high school did you graduate from? You say the school you're currently going to. What did you study? You say what you're studying now. What college do you go to? I don't go to college, I work in a grocery store.

Can someone educate me on the logic behind becoming "another person" on the fake ID? Because I can't understand it. If you get caught you're fucked either way, even if your name isn't really McLovin.

lol?
Does it matter if I have 1 post or 1000, or what my first post is?
My opinion is retarded because I don't think underage kids should go to clubs? Ya okay guys encourage this kid to break the law. You guys are cool. If you're mad about the law and disagree why don't you go do something about it. Until then the law still stands and what that kid is trying to do is illegal.

Yeah, a beer is too much responsibility before 21, but carrying a gun in a foreign country with an American flag on your shoulder? No problem.

As long as the kid is willing to take the consequences if he gets caught, it's his decision.

You should just wait until you're 21, and save yourself a lot of potential headache.

Really, in all seriousness, bars and strip clubs aren't worth it.

It's a question of risk vs. benefit, and the benefit doesn't outweigh the potential consequences.

Assuming you are intelligent, wise, and reasonable enough not to do something ridiculously stupid like drive drunk, you're probably smart enough to figure out that there's really not much fun to be had other than getting drunk.

^IMO it's worth it. Don't know if the nightlife is bad where you are, but I've had most of my fun nights out drinking with friends. My birthdate made me lose out of tons of fun when all my other friends went out to the bars and clubs, and had I known where to get a fake ID I wouldn't have batted an eyelid to do it.
really?

Seriously though, what the hell?! It's as if this guy made a TL account cuz he just HAD to make this comment. In my opinion (as well as personal experience)the years between 17 and 21 rarely give you the experience / proper judgement which the law pretends magically instills within you the day you turn 21. In short, I know a few people under 21 who would N - E - V - E - R drive while drunk, and meanwhile i know 3 people who have over 10 DUIs between them and they STILL fucking do it every weekend. Two of these people are 25 years old and the other is like 33. There IS a reason you have to be 21, sure, it's the law. Is there a GOOD reason? Debatable. Poor first post is poor.


More like he made a new account because he knew how stupid his opinion was -_-

Those silly europeans letting their silly young 18 year olds drink alcohol, place must be a mess.


lol?
Does it matter if I have 1 post or 1000, or what my first post is?
My opinion is retarded because I don't think underage kids should go to clubs? Ya okay guys encourage this kid to break the law. You guys are cool. If you're mad about the law and disagree why don't you go do something about it. Until then the law still stands and what that kid is trying to do is illegal.

"Doing something about it" includes getting a fake ID. If you're 19, chances are you can't single-handedly change the law in a convenient amount of time (as in well before you're 21).

One opinion is that every law is correct and should be followed. The wrong opinion that is. And people are doing plenty to warn him of the consequences, and I'm sure he knows them. I don't think anyone has endorsed breaking the law, just discussed the risks, implications, consequences, what to expect when doing it, etc.

Notice there is a thread here called "High Thread" and that is likewise about something illegal.

I personally think its more about the demeanour and how convincing and mature you act and look. If you look like some shifty, sweaty teen then you will be scrutinized. Then it won't matter what questions they ask, if you are flustered you will mess up.

You need to know your name, initials forwards and backwards, whether you're an organ donor, and all the things you listed. Honestly though, you really need a second form of ID with the same name as your fake. A credit card, school ID, or probably even a library card would do. You'll be asked for two forms of ID if they doubt your credibility.

Enforcement varies greatly from place to place, so there's no way to be sure. They might not even care.

If this thread gets closed I suppose I understand, I'm just looking for some helpful feedback regarding a new fake ID I just got. I'm looking to go to bars and I know of plenty of my friends who have been tricked by the bouncers with questions they ask. My question for you is what sorts of questions should I be prepared for? Here are the ones I know already:

1. Obviously the info on the ID
2. Year I graduated from high school
3. What high school I attended
4. Capital of the state I'm "from"
5. What year in college I'm in

I appreciate any help you guys can give me!


honestly none of that information matters except for the information on your fake id and MAYBE the state capital. i can't imagine someone being a dick enough to question your HS information bc when i entered college i was 17 - i was a late birthday. my sister, however is going to be almost 19 when she enters school. assuming information about their graduation date, college year, etc is retarded and unreliable at telling a person's "real" age. it is, however, their bar so bouncers can do whatever and are allowed to deny access if im not mistaken.

in my own personal experience, they tend to turn away people with a clean id - as in it doesnt look weathered. my advice for this would be to throw it in the dirt and step on it..makeup also works (i had some girls in my dorm throw some foundation on it so it looked used).

the one worry i always had was a bouncer bending the id or peeling it. sure enough it happened when i was 20 and alas, had to wait a year to go to another bar since i couldnt justify dropping money on a new id :/

My facial hair refuses to grow in well on the sides, so if I haven't trimmed my goatee recently, I'm more likely to get carded. I get carded more if I haven't had a haircut recently as well.

Of course, I also get carded about 5x more for cigarettes than I do for alcohol...

It is not worth your time obtaining and trying to use a Fake ID in this day and age. You are just going to end up with a fine and a slice of regret.

Although, it's slightly offtopic, I'm going to say something about the drinking age difference between different countries and what I think of it. I myself am what one would call a teetotal (no alcohol whatsoever).

Here in Germany one is allowed to buy and drink in public from the age of 16 (wine, beer, etc.) or 18 (distilled, i.e. hard, stuff and mixed beverages). In private there are no restrictions, so having a beer at your fathers 40th when your 10 or something is not a problem by law. I don't think we have a problem with alcohol in Germany, so I'm fine with the regulations.
In fact, I've been to England for a year and there you're allowed to buy everything starting from 18. This coincides with the time when most students get to university and are the first time in a new pretty unsupervised environment (no parents in sight). And I had the impression, that this led to drinking way more then you could or should.
And taking this thread as some evidence, I'm pretty sure that a legal drinking age of 21 just leads people to trying to find ways to get to it earlier in illegal ways.

In all my years of being post 21 and going to places I have never been asked a question about my ID (I didn't get a fake so I didn't have this dilemma before). Hell even when I went to Kansas for grad school (from Mi) No one said anything except to ask what part of Mi because they have a relative from there or something. It was even funny because when I go out with my fellow grad students basically none of us are from Kansas so they would get like 3-6 IDs in a row from diff states and they would just go "wtf lol" and not give it a thought.

Is one's horoscope/zodiac sign really something that most people know about themselves? I can't recall ever learning what mine was, and since the zodiac is wrong by a couple months anyways I can't really be bothered .

That being said, if a bouncer asked you that couldn't you just answer that you don't know? Seems more confident than sitting there looking baffled.

The only time they ever did this for me in the past was basically to just relay information that is on the ID. I don't see why you are so eager to fake your way into bars though.

Acting like you belong is the biggest part, like you've done this many times. If you seem nervous, akward, quiet, stare at the ground etc. they're going to notice.

Memorize the information on the card. If they ask you a dumb question like 'whats your horoscope', don't be an idiot and panic like this is a test you have to pass to get in, just stay calm and say "Whatever _________ (month) is." You have a valid I.D. (or what appears to be lol) and that is enough; you don't need to play 20 questions.

You guys fail when you think you have to play these stupid mind games with the bouncer. This is how they get you; they know the only ones who won't be like "WTF screw off" are the underage kids who panic. But this doesn't mean be rude, just be assertive. If a bouncer asked me for my birthday, sure I'll give it to him. But if he starts playing these dumb mind games, I'd simply say "whats the point of all this? you have my card; all the information is there".

Gave a friend of mine who was under age my ID to get into a club. He didn't even drink, just danced and messed around.

$500 fine later, this was not a wise choice.

As a former parttime bouncer the only info we were told to ask was DoB, Address and when does it expire. However most fakes are really easy to spot and if the club uses scanners you're as good as fucked. All that shit about highschools, and colleges are just to see how you react means they already don't believe you and are just fucking with you at this point.

I just use another kids spare ID i know that looks somewhat similar (not at all really, just same color hair and eyes) and it works 99% of the time. The one time i got turned down the bouncer was like "this isn't you" and then turns to my friend (who used to use the same ID before he was 21) and asks "whats this kids last name?" expecting him to say mine and not the one on the ID but he answered it perfectly since he used to use the ID. Bouncer got pissed that his ploy failed and didnt let either of us in. I have never been questioned about it at all, i've used it in detroit, chicago, and a few college campuses.

I used to work in a grocery store in a college town. The way I caught most people was the date of issue/expiration date/birthdate not jiving.

From what I remember it will expire on their 25th birthday, so if that's off you might want to consider not using it. I don't know why you can't just wait though.

Drinking is fun when you're 17
I used to be just like you, then I took a sweetroll to the knee.

I'm probably in the minority, but I've never understood what the rush is. I've never been into a bar, much less drank much of anything other than an occasional beer (and that was last summer) until just this last semester (spring semester, im 23), and it really didn't seem all that exciting, I dunno. It seemed no different than going out with people at a different location. I've never been asked funny questions, i just take it out of my wallet, hand it to them, and life goes on.

I already fairly "cheap" when it comes to money... wasting money on alcohol, especially in a bar, just doesn't seem to bring much value that fun goodies and toys do (games, gadgets, computers, etc -- and yeah, tastes vary, but still.. some do music, clothes, photography, art, furniture, cars... it goes on).

Even when i was in highschool, it didn't even cross my mind, though granted none of my friends ever went "out" either, it was just much better to do stuff at each other's houses, and it still didn't involve drinking. It's all just the fun and games of peer pressure, either put on by "friends", who may not have your best interests in mind, or society at large, in which case, you aren't making decisions for yourself anymore.

If anything, i believe that most of the actions taken while under the influence is largely under your control, its a placebo that gives you the excuse to act stupid, even though you have every ability to not... I am certainly aware that it degrades your mental status, alcohol is a 'poison' / depressant afterall, but not in that way.. the drunk driving way when you want to fall asleep and cannot focus.

but in the end, everyone can do whatever they want, just be ready to accept the consequences of your actions (both good and bad).

I get stuff like this every now and again, I have a Saskatchewan ID as thats where my families "official" residence is right now but I'm at uni in Alberta so every now and again I get someone questioning my out of province ID and telling me its fake... As terrible as it sounds, in my experience if you indicate to them that they're fucking retarded because they assume that out of province ID's are fake they let you go... they really have no idea what its supposed to look like anyways so...

Also if a bouncer destroyed your legit ID he would be in sooooo much shit...

In DK you can buy beer at age 16 in shops, 18 for harder liquor and to go to bars... It is public knowledge that thursday = 16 year olds in every single bar, some places even 14 year olds. And really, it isn't that bad of a mess ^^

Personally I've never been ID'ed (even when I was 16, then again I didn't go to bars too often), yet my 8 years older sister (who is now 30) gets ID'ed EVERY single time without fault - which is pretty hilarious

It's called checking to see if she's in my age range (I presume your sister's hot...). Anyways.

I know lots of people who have used siblings ID's and such to get into places although as the drinking age here is 18 its not nearly as big of an issue...

There are basically three reasons to drink:

1) Social lubricant, buzz, relaxing, etc... Barely any _young_ people actually drink for this reason, even though it is the "best" reason to drink, and usually goes along with moderation.
2) Excuse to be a shitfaced moron
3) Girls will have sex with people they barely know when they're drunk

#2 and #3 are basically frats in a nutshell, lol. One or the other is almost always behind young people drinking.

In an over/under bet on the number of people who have ever paid 60$+ for an id to look younger for such a reason, I would set the line at 3.

I think it's enough to go with the odds on this one. Can't imagine why it was so important that they were delaying medical care to ask his name though.

I put my real name on my fake ID, aswell as my birth date, all I changed was the year, so its easy to remember if he asks, and if he asks for another ID, i just flash a mastercard in his face and say its the same name ( the mastercard is real btw), im from norway and got an Arizona Drivers Licence fake ID, i just say i lived there, they never ask me where i graduated from.

Know how old you are, your DOB, where you're from. Any other questions and you can tell them that you're not comfortable divulging that information in public and immediately request your ID be given back.

If they ask for further ID, tell them you only brought your ID and some cash.

I agree entirely there's probably a lot less of those, and certainly not enough to expect it, but actually depending on what's on the ID, it could matter a lot. Don't know what all various places stick on their ID's though.

They weren't withholding medical care...just screamed at him when he woke up. Probably had something to do with laws requiring hospitals to report shit to proper authorities or something, I don't know. Just thought it was pretty funny.

Another time, another guy on my floor was out at a nearby restaurant and a plainclothes police officer saw him using a fake, so he went over to look at it and the dude ran from the restaurant and hid in his room, 30 minutes later cops showed up and arrested him.

It's not a big deal. Just go to places that look like they wouldn't even check your ID or would serve underage as it is, if they even bother to check, they won't care anyways. Don't flash it around, places like restarurants like Ruby Tuesdays, especially chains, won't let it fly and the manager will probably get a bit pissy while you haven't even ordered your food yet. Best places for it are clubs and bars, obviously see how they are observing IDs. If the guy is obviously doing his job, checking and scrutinizing eveyrone's ID, then that's probably not a good place.

Also don't look like an obvious oily faced teen.

They aren't going to report you with a fake ID, they'll just deny service. Just leave.

I had one for a really long time in high school. Here's my advice-

1.Know the information on there. If its a good fake, as long as you can confidently relay that info in response to questions, your golden.

2. Confidence is very important. Act pissed off when they question it, get annoyed when they seem suspicious. Act comfortable. Be 21.

3. My ID could scan so my back up plan was to tell them to fucking scan it and quit playing games. Having a good backup plan never hurts.

4. If your caught, be cool about it but focus on getting your ID back no matter what. I got caught a number of times but was able to be friendly about it and got my ID back until I fucked up in a liquor store when I was 20. I still was able to be friendly with the clerk so he didn't report me.

It mostly boils down to people skills. Knowing when to put on an act and how to back out of bad situations and KEEPING YOUR COOL are most vital to having a fake ID

Edit: Also, bars are expensive when your under 21 and don't have much disposable income. Its far cheaper to buy a 30 rack and get shitfaced with a few friends

I worked as a bouncer at a bar in St. Catharines for a couple months last year. The main things I'd look for is.

Eye colour. Lots of people match hair colour without making sure the eye colour is believable, this happens a lot with people passing IDs to one another, impossible to check for if it's a proper fake ID, by which I mean your picture with information that isn't yours.

Postal/ZIP Code. Know it, and be able to deliver it fast. If you're slow and stuttering it won't work, if you think you won't be able to do this then think up a back story which could potentially explain why you don't know or are slow delivering you ZIP code. "I just moved here and haven't memorized it yet". It probably won't work but it's a better shot than nothing. Same goes for middle name.

Make sure you can pronouce your last name. (lol) as a bouncer you see a lot of names and get a general sence as to how they are pronounced. example: Eucher is pronoucnced U-Ker and not Uch-er or U-cher, and certainly not - as one guy tried to convince me - pronounced E-UK-er


Best advice is both posts above mine, be the part, look the part

I'm probably in the minority, but I've never understood what the rush is. I've never been into a bar, much less drank much of anything other than an occasional beer (and that was last summer) until just this last semester (spring semester, im 23), and it really didn't seem all that exciting, I dunno. It seemed no different than going out with people at a different location. I've never been asked funny questions, i just take it out of my wallet, hand it to them, and life goes on.

I already fairly "cheap" when it comes to money... wasting money on alcohol, especially in a bar, just doesn't seem to bring much value that fun goodies and toys do (games, gadgets, computers, etc -- and yeah, tastes vary, but still.. some do music, clothes, photography, art, furniture, cars... it goes on).

Even when i was in highschool, it didn't even cross my mind, though granted none of my friends ever went "out" either, it was just much better to do stuff at each other's houses, and it still didn't involve drinking. It's all just the fun and games of peer pressure, either put on by "friends", who may not have your best interests in mind, or society at large, in which case, you aren't making decisions for yourself anymore.

If anything, i believe that most of the actions taken while under the influence is largely under your control, its a placebo that gives you the excuse to act stupid, even though you have every ability to not... I am certainly aware that it degrades your mental status, alcohol is a 'poison' / depressant afterall, but not in that way.. the drunk driving way when you want to fall asleep and cannot focus.

but in the end, everyone can do whatever they want, just be ready to accept the consequences of your actions (both good and bad).


There are basically three reasons to drink:

1) Social lubricant, buzz, relaxing, etc... Barely any _young_ people actually drink for this reason, even though it is the "best" reason to drink, and usually goes along with moderation.
2) Excuse to be a shitfaced moron
3) Girls will have sex with people they barely know when they're drunk

#2 and #3 are basically frats in a nutshell, lol. One or the other is almost always behind young people drinking.


I don't think you have a very good grasp of fraternity life....



That being said, where I'm from they don't ask you anything but "Let me see another form of ID". If you have one you're almost golden. At least in Athens.

Once when I was out of town trying to get into a bar a little bit too drunk the guy asked me my address, and I spouted out every piece of info on the card, date of birth, expiration date, everything.

What a fail.

If your going to a place that has bouncers you might as well not even try depending on the scale of the place. Many have scanners/ tags that would be very hard to replicate by some basement ID copier. My friend trained as a security guard and a huge part of the course is basically recognizing fake ids on the spot.


I just got back from Vegas and they didn't even use scanners... I think if Vegas doesn't bother, most places wont. Just turned 21, and I was asked a lot of those questions as well even though they were all legit answers lol.

Restaurants are definitely more likely to care. One of my ID's doesn't even look like me anymore, restaurants I'm more likely to get asked to show a second form of ID. Bars only care if they've had trouble with law enforcement recently.

And occasionally people will get in trouble with a fake ID. Remember George Bush's daughter?

My sisters friend tried to use a borrowed ID to get into a club, got caught, went to court for it, got fined and got a mark on her criminal record.

I don't know the laws regarding this in the US, but be careful. Have fun

As soon as I turn 21, I'm gonna go to a bar with a (real) ID with a shitty photo of me, fumble my info, have a shitty story, and mispronounce my last name. Cops come, ID is legit, apply trollface.

...To waste an hour of your life and get kicked out of the bar anyway?

irl doing shit that makes you wanna "apply trollface" gets you thrown out / beat up / arrested, unless you get away with it of course =)

Last year my friend got busted for having a fake ID. He had 400$ worth of liquor in his car for a party and anyways, he had no problem buying it or anything but he got pulled over at some random ass police road block random search or whatever and they confiscated all of the liquor, took his fake ID and he had to go to court.. I forget how much the fine was but if you can't pull it off then don't try to. It isn't worth it.

Well, a lot of places in America, it's a good idea to have cops near the bar anyways...

Lets just say that people who are over 21 aren't always so good at making decisions under the influence of alcohol either. I still don't get why the law said I could be deployed in the Army at 18, but not drink a beer until 21.

Yeah, I see what you mean. Already heard about many bars which had to call the police for fights or stuff like that.

Funny you say that, I have been to bars since I was 19 and never had a fight or a problem. The day I turn 21 we went to Vegas to celebrate and I get into a fight and 3 almost fights... I don't even know why, I seriously don't think any of those were my fault lol.

uh just answer you're not in college and you graduated early/homeschooled whatever. I've never had a bouncer ask me any of those questions. Honestly your best bet is just to get an out of state Fake ID because bouncers are really only trained to look for fakes of the state they are in.

at the bars around here I have never ever been asked a single question by a bouncer/door man. They just say "ID?" you hand it to them, they glance at it and hand it back, done.

Never any of these how old are you? what year for highschool grad?

Maybe it's just the area that I am from.

One thing that sadly catches some people by surprise is how old you "are."

you can repeat all you want that your birthday is 7-11-1988 but how old does that makes you? dumbass friend of mine lost that one pretty bad.

Uh huh, because if you get drunk you WILL get arrested and random people who had nothing to do with that will lose your job. Come on guys, you're hurting eSports here.

Depending on local laws, an establishment can get closed down or lose liquor licenses for serving to minors. Those can cost jobs.

I think that argument wasn't the best one for the case, but your response is pretty uninformed.

No, assuming that they won't is stupid and uninformed. Someone going about drinking underage in a smart and responsible way would be doing it at home, which doesn't require a fake ID, since you can just have a friend get it for you.

If you're not being smart and responsible, you can easily get caught and get the establishment in trouble.

No, that's false and I'm not saying you should assume it WON'T happen, I'm saying you shouldn't assume it WILL happen. Those are two completely different things. Do you know how many people use fake IDs compared to the number of establishments that get shut down because they serve to minors? I'd say the ratio is upwards of 1000:1.

If you're not being smart and responsible, you can easily get caught and get the establishment in trouble.


No, that's false and I'm not saying you should assume it WON'T happen, I'm saying you shouldn't assume it WILL happen. Those are two completely different things. Do you know how many people use fake IDs compared to the number of establishments that get shut down because they serve to minors? I'd say the ratio is upwards of 1000:1.


Show me a source for your numbers, or I'll just assume they're made up. Oh wait, they are. I'd bet they're not even close. Like I said, the argument itself is one of the worst ones for not using a fake ID, but saying that it doesn't, won't, or isn't likely to happen is ridiculous. I've seen tons of bars closed down temporarily or long term due to underage drinking. Just because you don't always hear it getting sensationalized doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

Google search for any set of terms related to bar closures for underage drinking that you can think of. Tons and tons of results, with tons and tons of incidents.

Yes that's great, and those results are spread out all over the years and all over the world. Yeah, it's a made up number, big whoop, ya got me. But you can't deny that thousands of people use fake IDs and they are never caught and the bars are never shut down.

Look, I never said it never happens, and it's pretty stupid/sad when someone irresponsible uses a fake ID and gets a whole establishment in trouble, my point was that, like I've said twice now, it's stupid to assume that it WILL happen when a fake ID is used? Can you at least accept that? Seems pretty simple to me.

No, because while it's anecdotal, I've seen it at least a hundred times in just a few years, which is quite a solid number. It's quite reasonable to understand the sort of consequences your actions can cause, even if it's silly to use that as an argument against using one.

I'll deny that thousands of people never get caught, because there's not exactly reliable statistics on fake ID usage. I'd bet it's a lot less than you seem to think, because plenty of people are perfectly content not taking the risks associated with going out.

I would guess the number of bars getting closed down because of fake IDs is pretty low. More often, I'd guess bars are shut down for knowingly (or blissfully ignorant) serving alcohol to minors. More people to drink is more money. More cute girls in your bar is more money. Pretty obvious what the motivation would be.

Put your ID into a laminated section of your wallet that's hard to see through under poor lighting (like the situation the bouncer is often in). Pick a place that has a steady flow of people going in (so the bouncer doesn't have time to waste on you). As you are stepping up to the bouncer motion like you're trying to pull your ID out of your wallet, and start wrestling with it for a while like it won't come out. Eventually the bouncer will get frustrated that you are taking so long and holding up the line... and he will just tell you to go in lol

When I was in manhattan with some friends a few months ago this sorta happened to me... my ID was valid to get me into the bar and I look old enough for sure, but it's worth a shot :3

Easiest thing to do is get a fake made for you that has all your info the same except the birth date. Avoids 99% of questions you'll be asked. Also if you have an id for another state its always a big warning sign as you have to change your id to the state you live in. Its kinda an obvious flag to look at it closer or ask some questions. I used to work the front door and the more uncomfortable you look the more people will doubt it. If you have to worry about people asking you questions you'll clearly be nervous. Most times if someones caught with a fake they just confiscate it or hand it over to the cops to take if there is cops at the front door, at a larger club for example. Very rarely is it worth their time to run you up on it or anything but clearly you ruin your friends night and lose the id.
Do or do not. There is no try

no not, under any circumstances, EVER give a cop your fake ID. You will be royally screwed, with not only Minor in consumption, assuming you were drinking, but for possessing US documents of a fraudulent nature (not sure what the exact charge is, could be forgery) but I'm pretty sure it is felonious. Cops can tell a fake, unlike your neighborhood bully turned bouncer. Bouncers will try to bullshit that they can spot a fake, but if you get a decent fake (which is expensive, from what I hear) they will be clueless.

In most college towns, bouncers are fellow college students, or washed up has-been athletes trying to live the dream of a college athlete which is no longer possible for them.

Okay, so you said I'm making numbers and now you're just making things up for the sake of arguing while not even talking about my main point, which I've said three times. I'm done.

I've gotten into bars underage by simply using my real ID in the middle of DT during an anime convention, cosplaying as L with messy ass hair and eye liner.

Just go to a bar with lenient bouncers, fake IDs are seriously more trouble than they're worth.

This is why you keep 2 pieces of ID from 2 different authorized sources. No way they can dispute you then. Especially if you have, 2 photo IDs, credit card, debit card all of you. If someone disputes you then, you ask to talk to the manager.

the key word you used here is 'barely', implying that you do actually know your sign I have never met a person that didn't know their sign, you don't have to read horoscopes to know that

This is hilarious. In Norway I can show my 19 y/o id and sometimes get into 20+ clubs. No scanners or anything, they bearly look at your id.

That.
My friend who is underage got carded, she gave her real ID as if it was natural, the guy only checked the year (she were going to be old enough in 3 months) and let her in.


I used to do that and assume bouncers couldn't be bothered to do maths. Only once did they catch me out and had a bit of a laugh at me for trying...I came back 5 minutes later with a friend's ID.

'Weren't you here just now?'
'What? No, dude.'

They let me right in. WHO'S LAUGHING NOW MOTHER FUCKERS.
