for underage drivers from drinking, i dont think this new vertical license is going to do it.
first of all most people dont just use White Out and a typewriter to create fake IDs from existing licenses the way they did it in my day.
they are going to use a real ID and alter the photo.
or use a real ID and not alter the photo since we all know our drivers license photos rarely look like us.
just the other day i was drinking with a young lady and upon entering the establishment the bouncer looked at me, looked at my ID, looked at my age, looked at me, and said BARNEY YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS! they were shocked that i was nearing the age of retirement but looked so. damn. good.
part of that was the fact that i looked so damn bad on my license.
the kids are going to drink no matter what we do, and if the state really wanted to crack down on underage boozing the first thing they should do is crack down on fraternities and sororities where binge drinking among minors is rampant and has been rampant since the times Greeks ruled the earth.
you know what else would slow down on underage drinking? the legalization of weed.
but thats another blog post for another day.
I just love that the sample girls name is Suzy Q Sample. I almost want to beleive that she is a real person!
21 is much too old. As you know, we only have to be 19 and in Quebec, 18.
I took no small amount of crap from bouncers in Santa Barbara because my 17 year old license had hair and my 23 year old self didn’t.
One of them felt bad about it later—this was at the Wildcat—and my drinks were on him that night. My band was of course happy to play there later that year.
omg i do miss the Wildcat
and yes Gage canada does win, as does Suzy
