Going out tomorrow night, lost drivers license..will my passport work?

So its not like im planning on getting pulled over by the cops, so me having the DMV issue me a new drivers license isn't really that high on my 'To Do List'. However, I am a college student and I will be going out with my friends this weekend to some clubs and pubs in the city. What im wondering is if showing my passport with a valid picture and birthdate will be good enough to get past the bouncers? I understand that BOTH a DL and a passport are government issued so I don't think that would be a problem, right?

GNR Sam- passports are issued and distributed by the Federal Government, hon.
Drivers licenses are issued by the state...but are still apart of the government. After all, the DMV gets all holidays off and then some...if thats not a government job...I don't know what is!!
Thanks for playing along genius....

Didn't I make it perfectly clear that getting in trouble with the cops is the least of my worries?! I just wanted to verify that a passport can substitute for a drivers license. Thats it!

Yes, a passport is a perfectly valid form of ID. More so than a DL I'd say, since I would think it'd be harder to fake a passport.

Seems like people are confused into thinking you're using the passport to indicate your eligible driving status as opposed to your eligible drinking status.

Whatever you do, DON'T lose your passport.
