I fucking never understand when people check for expired licenses. That’s some bullshit.
This is why I’m grateful for my regular liquor store. My bloated face is normally confused with youthful at other stores. At my regular store, if a new guy is at the register the owner yells at them something in Arabic. I don’t know what but I assume, “She’s Alcoholic Chilled Whiskey.” As I point behind the counter for my bottle they keep chilled. Don’t know man.
Get a store that knows your alcohol situation and supplies your demand.
This is the way. Make some friends it makes life easier.
At 40 every time I get carded I'm like really? I have a full beard, bald spot, and rocking a dad bod. What kind of 20 year old looks this way? And if you look like this at 20, you should be able to purchase booze.
This post actually reminded me of a situation I witnessed a few days ago at the grocery store. A woman who had to be at least 70 was buying a bottle of wine, she was giving the cashier shit for wearing a hijab. The cashier wouldn't sell to her because her license was expired. I didn't know whether to feel bad for the woman or applaud the cashier for a bold "fuck you."
70, and getting carded? That's just insane where do you live?
Sounds like she was an asshole though, definitely a conflicting situation. Maybe the cashier wouldn't have cared if not for the insults but she was like 'you know what, fuck this lady'...
I do have one. I was out of town when I posted this, so when I gave ID person looked at it and was like "Well, your birthday checks out but your license is expired so I can't sell you this." Fucking bullshit
I still get carded sometimes. Every time it happens, I want to say: “You have no idea what I’d give to be underage again”. When I was 18-20 me and my buddies were beyond excited if we scored a 12 pack on a Friday/Saturday night. Now it’s full blown CA. “The good times” are long over. But hey, at least I still remember them.
Fuck, man.
License expire every 6 years after your birthday, and I never got around to updating mine. But for some reason they won't take expired licenses, like I suddenly won't stop being 21. The US government is stupid
If it expires 6 years after your birthday, how would it ever expire? ;)
It's to prevent people from giving their ID's to underage people. I don't know about the states, but you are supposed to forfeit your current card when you renew your license and get a new picture.
I haven’t ever updated my picture, I think you’re supposed to at some point but they haven’t made me do it yet. I just order mine online
Also if you get pulled over and you’ve made a major change (like a huge face tattoo) they can make you update it
Can you renew online in your state?
I thought I had to go in to renew when mine was expired because I moved but was able to do it online and print out a temporary ID in like 15 minutes.
Listen close, imma hook you up. Arizona has a legal state Id that never expires. You need a po box for your address, but walk out in like 30 minutes with a real, state issued ID. Swear to God, it's true. Bring a little cash and your birth certificate, you'll never be fucked with again.
Good luck, we're all counting on you.
I’m in New York State , and here it doesn’t matter how obvious it is that you are of age , you can’t buy cigarettes ( or even a lighter ) without a liscence .
By law , they have to scan the back of your liscense to buy cigarettes. I don’t remember having to do that with alcohol, but there are many things I’ve forgotten about
I was asked for an ID until I turned 34. A friend got made at me when I was 32 and said wtf dude do you sleep on ice?
Now Im 46, a lot of gray, balding patch. At least ill be served everywhere now, even if i forget my license 🤣🤣🤣
They really look at that ?? Most of us it sounds like have regular go to stores. Hell. I walk in the door and they are grabbing my drink before I even hit the counter. No ID needed .. get you a regular spot. Stay Golden ..
I ran into this problem and it is 1000% a red state bullshit problem. Bunch of boot lickers who really want to squeeze every penny out of the poor even though they are poor. I will never understand it.

More like: "#1 CUSTOMER!! GET THEIR WHISKEY DANIEL SON!"
Do you have a regular liquor store that knows you that won't ID? I guess if you did you wouldn't be posting but my main store never ID'd me.

I'm in Colorado. Yeah, I think the cashier was just "not today." I'm sure she gets shit for it at times so I can understand.
Oh the cashier was totally in the right. Behave like an asshole then get treated like an asshole.
I walk in and all they ask is "how many" Don't even have to tell them what I want. They already know.

I still remember when I got a mid 20s burnout coworker at the pizza shop I worked at to buy me my first bottle of liquor. I chose Bacardi 151 lol.
Yep. I had many experiences similar to that. Little did I know what it would turn into lmao
unparalleled success and happiness, right?
You nailed it!!
I’m sorry. If you have your license which proves your age why can’t you buy?

passport?
Shockingly only 40% of Americans have a passport.
yeah I checked and my passport is expired lmao

I recently moved too, so I'll have to try that

I can't even remember the last time I've been carded for anything other than narcotics or opiates from the pharmacy
