You don't

If you look under 21 they ask for ID to prove you are over 18

I'm 20 and I always get asked for ID!.!.!. it used to annoy me but I'm used to it nowWww@FoodAQ@Com

Film_addict5 is correct, the 'Think 21' rule was brought in by licenced retailers to try and eliminate under-age sales!.

If you look under 21, you'll be asked for ID, if you cannot provide it, you will not be served, irrespective of how old you are!.

If you can provide it, and you're 18 or over, there's no problem, you'll be served!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You don't have to be 21 to buy alcohol, if you look under 21 you have to show proof that you are over 18!. This is because the supermarkets want to make sure that they don't get caught selling alcohol to anyone under 18!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

As others have said you don't have to be 21!.You only have to be 18!.If you don't look 21 they will ask you for ID to prove you are 18 or more!.

They reckon it will help stop under 18's getting booze!. Somehow I doubt it'll work but you never know!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

As long as you are over 18 you can buy alcohol!. Anywhere that legally sells alcohol now requires you to show governmental or PASS approved ID if you look under the age of 21!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Challenge 21 is basically ID'ing those who appear under 21, but as long as you can prove you are over 18 you may proceed with the purchase!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

ahhhh because you live in the US where restriction is the #1 thing! (and due to this also the Country where the most rebellion happens!. !. !. !.food for thought)Www@FoodAQ@Com
