ID for drinking

A hypothetical question ( as I don’t want to break any laws) for the younger members of the forum.

If somebody had a 17 year old son who he takes to football with him and the said son is getting a bit pissed off drinking cokes whilst his dad’s mates and their sons who are both 18 drink beer, is it possible to get some sort of ID over the internet that will pass a basic barman ID check. In this hypothetical senerio the 17 year old is 6ft tall and is pretty sensible, he just wants a couple of pints pre match. Do internet ids work and is it worth it or a waste of time and money. Perhaps someone knows a site that they recommend or have used

Obviously in my day nobody really gave a shit and there wasn’t really any ID, I thought some of the 20 somethings would be more in tune with this than me.

Go in pub, and order two pints of vodka and a tap-water for the boy, then when barman is not looking, swap the tap-water for one of the vodkas.

Go to a restaurant.

Just buy the drink for him

Get him hooked on crack. Quick toot before he goes in. He’ll be glad of the soft drink.

Don’t we already have a thread for people seeking dodgy advice on fraud and underage drinking?

If not, we should.

How times have changed, when I was 17 my overly fluffy moustache and a put on deep voice was sufficient to get me served.

The Village People droopy-tache leather biker look was in that year.

In the Grantham in Eastleigh Fowllyd* and I used to get served in school uniform. If you could see over the bar and had cash that was all the ID you needed.

* I was buying obviously

Granted, it’s 10 or so years since I was in this scenario myself. But No, they don’t. Most places accept drivers license or passports. The rest are a nonsense. Knew people that bought them, all a waste of money.

I’m no expert, so could be wrong, but I’d imagine trying to publicly source a fake drivers license or passport over the Web would be a bad idea.

A better solution, I’m lead to believe, would be if young sir or his father knew someone with an appropriate form of id that looks vaguely similar.

A, um, friend used to do this when they were about 15. They needn’t be dopplegangers, just a similar skin tone and similar length hair that’s the same(ish) colour.

Think Josh Sims, he could probably borrow JWPs, but may struggle with Martina’s.

Probably, apparently, so I’m told. Maybe.

It’s also prudent to memorise what’s on the id (Dob, address etc), well, I think I heard someone say that once anyway.

I got ID’d last year. Was very happy.

Still trying to get in to those school discos?

I went to offer my seat to people on the Tube last week, then I had a look round and decided they were all younger - so they could fucking stand.

I did this at Palace ok because the pub we used was packed so he just blended in m. The problem is home games. A couple of years ago our group nearly got chucked out of our pre match ale house because one of the blokes did this for his son.

Looks like buying something over Internet is waste of time if it’s just passports & driving licences accepted.Bit of a dodgy area using fakes of those particular documents. I was wondering about some sort of student ID, or an Irish id card maybe. Something the bar mans unfamiliar with

Student ID isn’t even acceptable proof of age in student unions - I’d go with the Irish card as that might actually work

Yeah fake IDs off the internet will succeed precisely 0% of the time, so rule that out.

I have lots of spare ID’s. Unfortunately they are all for women and are all slightly soiled.

Just go in pubs that sell food. Buy some chips and he’s legally allowed a pint as he’s eating.
