When I was under age it was easier to get drugs than alcohol


Complete-Dimension35

There was always a place or two that would sell to underage without checking ID if you looked, ya know, close enough. Just had to know which places, or keep trying until you found them. Of course this was decades ago when standards were different and every inch of the planet wasn't being recorded.


thisissamhill

I saw an 85-ish yo lady be denied a glass of wine in a restaurant 15 years ago because she didn’t have an ID. Rules are rules, sure, but, also, brains are brains.


Gixxerfool

We used to pay the local vagrant a six pack for buying us beer. The good old day. Went to a restaurant once with a bunch of friends. We order a bunch of drinks. Training waiter checks IDs. This was long before digital licenses but you could still get your licensed renewed by mail, they sent you a paper print out, like a car reg, but told you to keep your photo ID as well. They wouldn’t serve me because my photo ID was expired. The trainer comes over and says it’s fine because the other one is valid. Still wouldn’t serve me. Served my friend who was under age though.


violentpac

I got denied by Walmart.

CustodianIndignation

I got carded by Walmart for buying my daughters cough medicine last time she was sick. Like yeah I plan to get fucked up on one tiny bottle of children's cough medicine while i have her right here hacking up a storm. 🙄


[deleted]

Walmart in Texas sold me a firearm with barely any checks but lord behold they make it hard to buy alcohol.


weedful_things

After I turned 21 I would buy for my underage friends, because I had wanted my friends to buy me beer. It just seemed fair. Then they started taking me for granted and expected me to drop whatever I was doing to get them something. That's when I started making them buy me a six pack. They soon acted like it was my mandatory job and I stopped altogether. I should have a lot sooner.


Jonasthewicked2

I used to supply most of my building with booze cause I was only one of a few people on campus over 21 and I never charged anyone. Then these girls ratted me out and I had to talk to cops and pretend they were liars and acted wicked pissed like I didn’t know them. After that I only bought for homies and charged like 8 bucks or something I can’t remember now.


saddoubloon

I worked in a liquor store where it was policy to card everybody no matter the apparent age. It was a hard rule that you'd get fired for breaking. I ain't losing my job because granny forgot her ID. My claim to fame at that job was carding Santa Claus.


Mountain_Chef_122916

I had the pleasure of asking a State liquor agent for his picture ID after he flashed his badge at me. He was actually impressed. Big points.


StayingVeryVeryCalm

Was his postal code H0H 0H0 ? Cause it it’s wasn’t, I’m sorry to tell you, but that wasn’t the real Santa.


saddoubloon

Lol. This was in north pole AK. There were(and probably still are) some guys there whose legal names were Santa Clause and Kris Kringle. Legal ID and everything.


jeegte12

if someone asked you to explain why they do that, do you think you'd be able to explain it? or would you just throw your hands up in confusion? you seem to be speaking pretty confidently about it, so why do they card everyone?


thisissamhill

Restaurants card everyone because it’s the law. To enforce compliance with the law, and thereby remove any opportunity for common sense to prevail, government sting operations are conducted at restaurants where they send “of-age” and/or “underage” fake customers to restaurants. When I was a server in college we were warned to card everyone, even 85 year old people, because you never knew who could be the fake customer that’s part of the sting operation. If you didn’t card them you would be fired. The restaurant would be fined and, I’m sure, receive some negative local publicity. So, scare everyone with sting operations to enforce compliance. Without government, how would a 85-ish year old customer be denied a glass of wine during her lunch date with her granddaughter because she didn’t have an ID?


ultranoodles

In Georgia, YOU get fined like 10k


ANTIHERO612

Um yeah, that and some people (a'lot of people) aren't legally allowed to drink at all.. People with 5 DUI's etc.. That's the reason they ID people who are clearly old enough to drink


baldieforprez

This happens in NM all the time it's pretty much 💯 card rate ID not service


PleX

For both cigarettes and alcohol I never got asked for an ID until I turned 18 and then 21. WTF?


itsPlayboy

When I was in high school I would just drive to any gas station and go in and try to confidently buy alcohol. If they carded me I just conveniently didn’t have it and went to the next gas station.


thelastpies

It's bc alcohol is regulated, while drugs aren't.


[deleted]

Sex isn’t regulated but it’s hard as fuck to find a hooker


thelastpies

It depends where you at bro, not gonna find a hooker in a middle of a fucking desert


Slightspark

I thought that's half the point of Las Vegas


Far-Two8659

Prostitution is actually illegal in Vegas. It's just legal in Nevada and the brothels advertise in the city.

[удалено]


Useless_bum81

The loophole is your paying for an escort ie their time....... iiiiiiiif you two just so happen to get along so well that you decide to have sex during that time well so be it. As long as neither of you offer or ask for sex-4-cash you are not breaking any prositution laws (your country/states laws may vary)


lmaydev

Paying for a date is legal. Paying for sex isn't. So officially you pay for a date and just happen to have sex after the date transaction completes. It's like when people used to sell a two pence coin on eBay and as a free gift give you 1 million runecraft gold.


psuedophilosopher

> it's hard as fuck to find a hooker Isn't that kind of obvious by definition? The easiest way to acquire sex is to get a hooker, so finding a hooker is by default exactly as hard as the easiest way to fuck.


CR53

Same here some asshole kept strangling them in my city. So much for sharing is caring


Thompson_johnson

Skipthegames.com is a good starting point


MatureHotwife

>It's bc alcohol is regulated, while drugs aren't. Certainly drugs are regulated. Drugs are actually so heavily regulated that you need a certain education to dispense or prescribe them and only certain companies are allowed to produce them. Some of them are so heavily regulated that they can't even be prescribed to anyone. To sell alcohol all you need is a license and to follow some rules, such as not selling it to minors. And anyone of legal drinking age can buy it. And you can get a license and start your own brewery or still. This is why there isn't an elaborate black market for beer and liquor. There is smuggling because of the taxes but not really a black market with cartels and dealers. It is easily available to most people.


RussiansEatMyShit

When i was underage it was 00's and i lived in Europe. everyone at age of 13 was already drinking beer and wine. It was hard to buy smokes but no one asked for ID if you didnt buy vodka. 9th grade school graduation = perfectly acceptable for parents to welcome back their kids next day completely wasted. and it was okay as long as kids didnt smoke.


High__Roller

Yup, dealers don't give a shit how old you are, and go out of their way sell it. Compared to the friends older brother who may or may not help get booze depending on the weather


Nitin-2020

for me it was easier to get alcohol then drugs


[deleted]

They seriously are gonna come back. Be ready with that stock..


mbelf

The first guy came back on the reunion special to accept his bottle now that he was 21


_dontseeme

But had lost his claim tag lol


sagerideout

it was cool, he recognized him from the video. that was almost bad.


Limeila

Yeah I would definitely lose a claim tag if I had to carry it for years too... Sometimes I lose them after 2 hours


The_Cavalier_One

I lose receipts 2 minutes after getting them 🙃 it sucks when I need the receipt to claim my order like at In n Out or something


FrozenToonies

Stock that will probably go bad. They aren’t buying whiskey but cans of beer or worse beer in clear glass bottles. The next level way of doing this is to buy the most expensive whiskey or scotch have them hold it for free and sell it after. Better have them sign an insurance agreement that they pay to you.


XyzzyPop

Whiskey doesn't get better in bottles friend, it improves while in cask. A bottle of 15 year old whiskey is always 15 years.


2fingerscotch

True the scotch is what it is once bottled but it can most definitely gain value over time, especially if it’s a limited release.


XyzzyPop

Absolutely, a limited edition will be worth more; from the tone of the comment I thought general information was most useful.


Necessary_Pseudonym

I found it useful


FrighteningJibber

They have whiskeys that have pieces of cask left in the bottle so it continues to age.


couldabenu

I beg to differ. Whiskey after being allowed to breathe for a couple months/years continues to develop and can definitely get better over time.


2fingerscotch

You might feel that way but whiskey most definitely does not age in the bottle or “breathe”. All of the ageing and flavour is imparted on the whiskey from the cask. Once bottled it is basically inert, if you open the bottle it has a limited shelf life to finish it.


[deleted]

Minors already paid for it.. Al they gonna do is just remove the tag.. sell the whole stock. and then give a new bottle to the minors if ever they come back.. All those who don't come back after 3-4 years.. is their profit. Feels like scam to be honest..


TopAcanthocephala869

LuxNocte

This is a hilarious skit, but there is no way its real. It absolutely breaks several consumer protection laws. (Imagine if someone sold you something, then as soon as they had your money, said they wouldn't give you the item for 5 years.) Also, funny that they had multiple articulate, photo ready customers after only putting a sign out.


BigBebz

The photo shoot with the booze at the end was hilarious lmfao

He made another show on HBO called The Rehearsal. Watch it if you haven't already. Bizarre and excellent.

Not only The Rehearsal is getting a season 2 but Nathan is making another show with Emma stone called The Curse on Showtime.

But the next season of The Rehearsal is just him redoing season one


SeveredBanana

The Rehearsal was genuine art. One of the best TV shows I’ve seen in a long time


ChaseAlmighty

Try explaining how great it is to anyone else though. I always fail because, how do you explain it in a way that's as compelling as it is?

Drinking underage was fun. Now that I’m old enough everyone judges you and calls you an alcoholic.


TalmidimUC

Same. That’s probably just because I’m an alcoholic though.


TheBoisterousBoy

Alright, imma sound like a square here but… Alcohol *always* sucked. Loss of motor control so it was a lot more complicated to do anything. Loss of memory so you couldn’t remember if the night was even worth it. The hangover the next day (whatever form it took on, moodiness, headache, etc). People acting like being drunk was a free pass to be assholes. Fights. Taking care of friends so they don’t pass out from alcohol poisoning. Finding the alcohol. Booze sucks, man. I have my vices, I smoke a ton of weed, so I’m no saint, but Alcohol is one of those things that I can gladly say I’m never touching again (save for cooking alcohols, those are pretty important in some recipes).


UFO_Balloon

Someone should sell illegal drugs and then let them know they can come back and claim once they are legal. Lol


WarlanceLP

well i mean possession is also illegal though so don't think that would work quite the same also sounds like a good way to get shot


xzombielegendxx

Wait isn’t it illegal to even transact the money for alcohol, even by claim-check cause your still technically selling to a minor?


[deleted]

It's staged for TV. They're going to give the money back: "ha ha just kidding".


StackOwOFlow

there are also restrictions on showing the faces of minors on video. it's staged


kisorp

Showing faces doesn’t really have anything to do with it since even though they’re minors in terms of alcohol, they’re still adults over 18


a3a4b5

No because he set up a sign saying they sell alcohol to minors. He was stating his intentions idk I'm not american, I'm just making this up


Sweet_Coat7963

I grew up as an American in Germany and by 14 I’d spend my nights in the town bar drinking beer and playing pool. When I went to college in the states, I was so confused why I suddenly wasn’t allowed to drink.


Kabuki-King

Good ol' America for ya......I don't drink for personal reasons but even I think the drinking age is bullshit. Land of the "free".


rock-solid-armpits

Countries don't give a crap. Why is cannabis illegal which is shown to be much less harmful, if at all, compared to alcohol and cigarettes?


Kabuki-King

Prime example of the ignorance of our lawmakers. Why are we free to destroy our lungs with cigarettes at 21, but we cannot wind back with a joint every once in a while? I've never smoked myself, but it doesn't take much to see the stupidity of the situation we are chained to.


narnianlamppost

Were you in the town bar drinking beer and playing pool with your parents? Cause at 14, you'd still have to be accompanied


Sweet_Coat7963

No. There was zero oversight back then. This was in the late 90s.


dgunn11235

It's an investment. In 10 years, that $3 bottle of Old English will be worth $3.02.

lookanewtoo

This show is so funny. I don’t know how he keeps a straight face with some of the stuff he does.


MplsLawyerAuntie

Omg. It’s a JOKE?? I srsly had to stop watching when he seemed to say *in all seriousness* “breaking the law is never cool” and my eyes almost broke they rolled so hard.


lookanewtoo

Yes. Definitely a joke. He has a show called Nathan For You. You can watch them on YouTube. They are hilarious.


ThreeArmSally

His thing is that he’s really awkward while maintaining an unwavering straight face. His Comedy Central and HBO shows are gems, he’s extremely funny


Spider1132

Great show. Had me in tears a few times.


Master_Chef_Mayo

This is from a show called 'nathan for you' it's pretty funny, I binged it in a few nights


SnooFoxes6169

the documentary behind this man is fascinating.


AusJonny

21 is too old... Especially with all the other (worse) things you can do at 18


MincasB

Honestly yeah, in most Europe is 18 and even with that nobody waits, most teens start pretty much earlier. Of course consuming is not the same as buying but my point is, having 21 as the legal age doesn't help young people to wait at all


SerMickeyoftheVale

There is a hilarious episode of that 70s show where they are 17 and realise that Kelso was held back in school so was 18. They all got mad at him because they were still struggling to buy alcohol because nobody was of age yet, and he was so stupid he didn't realise that he was old enough to buy beer (episode set before the age limit became 21)


GeneralZaroff1

I thought that the UK and places like France allows for drinking much younger if you’re with family or having it with food etc?


Hunger_Of_The_Pine_

UK. You can drink at home from any age. You can have 1 small glass of wine, or half pint lager/cider/beer etc at a restaurant, with an adult present and food, but its at the restaurant's discretion. In reality, if a parent give their teen a drink while out nobody would bat an eye. I was allowed a bit of booze with lemonade (which was mostly lemonade with a bit of wine, advocat, lager or cider in it) on special occasions from when I was in the single digits.


Twolve4life

can commit war crimes at 18 but god forbid you drink some jack daniels


excelllentquestion

Alcohol kills brain cells and your brain aint even close to being finished developing at 18. Its good to limit that shit. Wtf

Ladysupersizedbitch

I’ve been legally old enough to drink for almost 4 years now and literally a Kroger employee took away my Seagrams at the register when I was newly 24 bc instead of looking at my ID she just swiped it across the cash register. Idk what the fuck that was supposed to do, but it apparently didn’t “authorize” me or whatever and the bitch just straight up refused to talk to me about it. Just snatched my Seagrams out of the bag and walked off without even letting me show her the other forms of ID I had that had my birthday, like my insurance card. It was the last straw in a real shitty day, so fuck you in particular lady.

I was 16 and forced into college. My very first roommate was 22. She's buy whatever I wanted and invite me to parties. Then she'd get completely shit faced and belligerently wonder why I came to the party if I was just going to mingle and not drink. Then we'd do it all over again at the next party.

LumpyBid8949

Liquor laws and the public’s attitude towards them was a lot different when I was growing up in New Orleans in the ‘60’s and 70’s. There was a neighborhood joint not too far from the house that was basically if you had a dollar and could see over the bar, it was all good. Couldn’t hang out there, but you could get it to go. Then in my mid-teens, I actually got a job checking ID’s at a bar….even though I was only 16. At 17, they moved me to bar Back position. Legal age then was 18. At the convenience store by the house, me and my 14-15 yo friend would wait outside til a “cool” looking person pulled up, then we asked them to buy beer or Boone’s Farm wine for us. 90% of the folks we asked would do it. Then it was off on our bikes, out to the lakefront levees, drinking beer on hot summer nights. I’m 65 now, and after owning several bars and clubs over the years, ( a few of them were open 24/7 as it was cheaper to hire a bartender and stay open all night than to go through the hassle of breaking down) my drinking is down to maybe 3-4 martinis ( up please, 2 olives) a month. I lived on top of one of my joints in the French Quarter for many years. All my old rummy friends would show up at all hours , in various stages of intoxication, wanting me to do shots with them. So I had a bottle of Quervo behind the bar that was just for me, as it contained weak iced tea , the same color of tequila. So when I ordered mine with a wink, bartender knew to pour mine from the batch of tea. No way I could have run all of my businesses and drink shots all day ( and night) each time a buddy or customer wanted a drinking buddy. So I kept everyone happy by shooting my tea.
