When you were under the legal drinking age, how did you buy alcohol?

[exitseven]

This was really the way it was.

One of my friends had a beard when he was 15. He got a fake ID and he used to buy for us. We used to have to drive him to the liquor store because he was too young to drive. We would wait in the parking lot for him to come out. One night the clerk helped him carry his purchases to the car.

In high school we’d usually get it through an older sibling of a friend. In college, it was just everywhere, haha, you could scavenge what you needed, generally. But pretty soon into freshman year you’d meet someone with a fake ID, and right on my floor I had a couple of kids who were 21 and still living on campus (crazy, lmao), so it was never an issue.

I knew people who would post up outside of liquor stores and ask random people, and eventually somebody sketchy enough to buy teenagers booze came along, after a bunch of refusals.

Several ways I sold weed to a dude that owned a liquor store when I was early teens and me and my homies would hit up some winnows and give them enough to get themselves a bottle also or sometimes we’d just do a beer run and steel it we even would mug somebody when we saw them walking with a case or whatever. Man we were terrible kids there’s a lot of things I did when I was young that I’m ashamed of

[TrueConfection]

I didn't care for it, but my friends seemed to have lots of beer on weekends. Someone usually had an older sibling or they would simply ask a customer walking into a liquor store to buy it and they got a yes 100% of the time. These were the boys and they'd happily share with the girls.

I looked older for my age and they didn't card people the way they do now. I could go to a few places at 14 years old and buy cigarettes because I looked older than my age. I would dress up and wear more grown up clothes instead of my medal t-shirts and ripped jeans too.

[Apple1996]

Had older friends that would buy for me

[DaveJord]

I didn't... i just took it out my father's fridge in the garage, by the 12 pack and left a $20 in the butter tray. I never asked him to buy it for me, he never offered to buy it, but the fridge always had beer in and the money was always gone and he never asked where it went or questioned me on it. I do not think my mother ever knew either.

Then there was the homeless guys that would buy it for a pack of cigarettes' but I never liked doing that. So mostly I got it from dad, and there where one or two places that would take fake IDs. I never had a fake ID myself, but my friends did.

By the time I was 18 I was in the Army and overseas so legal age did not matter.

[Lliam]

There was no law to check everyone's driver's license (age), but there was still a law against selling alcohol to people under age 21. So my friends and I couldn't just go into a store and buy alcohol. Fake IDs were very uncommon, too. Nevertheless, we had little trouble getting alcohol - usually beer, but also some horrific, inexpensive shit like Spanada and Boons Farm.

[exitseven]

Boones Farm- Come alive for a dollar five.

[Lliam]

ROFL Disgusting stuff for people who want to get drunk but don't like the taste of alcohol. I got so sick several times from getting drunk on that shit.

[DonkeyDan]

I always looked okder than I was as a kid, when I was 14 looked about 18, so at 15 and 16 I never even got questioned as to my age. Wouldn't happen like that these days, in the UK we now have something called "Check 25", so basically anyone selling alcohol needs to check the ID of anyone who doesn't look 25 or over, despite only needing to be 18 to buy alcohol.

[Dinklex3]

I didn't drink or attempt to consume alcohol underage.
But my friends would get it from their parents liquor cabinets or have the soldiers buy it for them (for some reason they wanted relationships with 14 year old girls).

[ChrisMaster69]

On of our local pubs was fairly okay with u deer 18’s drinking.

it was common as fuck to be in pub at 16, defo 17

of we wanted booze any other time, we got some older person to get us booze or we simply stole it.

it was always funny that we took the piss out of each other for not getting served at 16 lol

[nestokyo]

I'll be honest until 2 months ago they made an oopsie on my driver's license that said I was 23, so that was how for me, but i had to get it fixed b4 I got into trouble or some shit

[DryGermanGuy]

Drinking age is sixteen and that is rarely controlled, so the few beers I wanted to buy every now and then, I just bought. But I was never really interested in wasting my money on alcohol.

[matchrestore]

In high school, I just drank whatever was around/offered to me, and gave whoever was giving it to me a bit of cash. In college, I had older students pick up what I wanted.

[AviatorTom]

There was a small family-own bar that would sell low alcohol beer to minors, so long as you were at least 16; legal drinking age at the time was 18. Everyone, including the police, knew about it, and they figured it was better to let teenagers drink low-alcohol beer than force them to use fake IDs to get the hard stuff. Most of the teens (me included) didn't abuse this "look-the-other-way privilege", typically having only one beer.

[ChiTown33]

It wasn't an issue. I never cared for alcohol, Still don't. Honestly I only drink socially because people who do drink will constantly ask you why you aren't. It just easier to do it to shut them up. Lol

[bolverk]

Never bought alcohol under age, but I was home brewing from 17 which is allowed in the UK, made Lager, Porter, IPA, Barley Wine, and Red, White, Rose, Parsley wines.

[Bratsondanielle]

I never had alcohol. I think we should let Nancy Pelosi drink it. She's good at it.

[Aerissa_Jade]

Never bought it when I was under, guys would offer it.

[Anonymous]

My friends and I sucked older guys dicks. Seems if more than one girl agrees to get topless and suck a guy's dick that guy will agree to do anything for them even be their taxi driver for the night.

[Jaximus-Lion]

My parents. I was 16 when they gave me my first beer. Ozo too and gin when i was almost 18.

[lightbulb27]

I didn’t touch it. I saw drunk peoe… drugged people… smokers… and was disgusted by all of it.

[Msputiton]

I never tried to, but tbh.
I most likely won't even when i turn 21

[TacosRAwesome]

Drinking age locally is 16. And I wasn't allowed out to drinking places till the summer of my 16th birthday, so I never needed to drink underage.

[Andres77]

Buddy's older brother got it for us. Once. We were busted.

[collie22]

if i wanted some alcohol there was plenty around the house when i was younger

[berwise13]

Drinking age was 18 I could grow a beard at 14 & I had hair on my chest. Most of the time nobody checked my id

[Gibbons44]

Did not, dud not want ir need it. Even now I find it vile, even if I do consume it. It's unnecessary.

[FinalFantasyBro]

I have never sneak alcohol even now as a legal adult I still don't buy it, I don't neither drink or smoke.

[FunkyMonkee]

I didn't. I never drank (except a few shoots of Schnapps about 20 years ago).

[jamesgoldman]

Other people bought me drinks in the restaurant and the rest of the time I brewed my own

[Sabretooth]

before I was even 5--sips of my biological... ''father's''.

[Redstang88]

Never was hard to find someone over 18

[OddBeMe]

We didn’t. We bought drugs.

[msc545]

We would have an adult buy it for us.

[normalice]

Was on the army and just asked my roomies.
