Is it legal to buy alcohol for your spouse in texas?!
Answers: we went bowling and my husband had a mexican id, and she knew he was older than 21 by that id, she said they dont accept those, so i bought a beer for my husband, and she saw he had it and took it away. but i could have sworn buying alcohol for your spouse is legal...
In Texas as long as one spouse is of age the other can consume alcohol as long as they are with the spouse that's over age. I've been a bartender in Texas with an alcohol license for three years. Its legal for a minor to drink in Texas as long a spouse or legal gaurdian is present.
Any public establishment has the right to demand acceptable proof of age for each individual drinking (not just who is 'buying') be it your friend, spouse, cousin or mother.
The legal drinking age is 21. You can be married, single, divorced, bi-sexaul, gay or whatever but unless your 21 years they cannot legally serve you.
No, they require ID for anyone who looks like they might be under 21. And they have a right to require a US ID and stick by their ruling (I'm guessing Mexican IDs might be easier to fake in the minds of bar owners?).
But I think you can still buy drinks for your kids. Seriously, look it up. Go figure.
first of all your husband has to have a valid u.s. id. if he did have one it would be perfectly legal even if he was under the age of 21. here is a portion of the texas law.
