Underage drinking

Okay so…this has been bugging me for a while. There are these girls who go out every weekend and drink. The other day one of them was gathering money to go and get a keg for a party. Now, call me crazy…but the last time I checked she was seventeen and the drinking age was 21. How are they able to find beer distributors willing enough to give them beer with out at least questioning them of their age? Do they get their friends, parents to get it for them? Do they have fake ids that actually work when scanned? Or are they just really good liars? Where in philadelphia would have underage beer distributors? they are pretty harsh about it.

A very detailed explaination would be great!

Answer #1

We don’t know how they get it. We aren’t them and don’t know them, so we don’t know.

Answer #2

the first time I was drunk was when I was around 10, there is nothing wrong with underage drinking, if you die of alcohol poisoning it is your fault and your fault alone

Answer #3

they could take it from their parents house, have older siblings buy it for them, or know people who work at a liqour store

Answer #4

it’s actually not hard to find alcohol while underage, find someone over 21 who’s willing to supply you, family members, some palces dont even I.d cause they’d be losing a lot of business

Answer #5

Lol I’m 17 and I drink like more then they do probably… and the drinking age is 19 here (Canada)

How are they able to find beer distributors willing enough to give them beer with out at least questioning them of their age?

Some places are really shady, and just don’t check, some don’t care whos buying as long as they’re making money… and if you actually LOOK old enough then they won’t question you…

Do they get their friends, parents to get it for them? -They can… sometimes people even get complete strangers to get it for them…

Do they have fake ids that actually work when scanned? -Some do it depends on the quality of them, and if the store will actually scan it or not…

Or are they just really good liars? -They might just LOOK old enough as I said before, but I guess you gotta be a good liar too =\

Where in philadelphia would have underage beer distributors? they are pretty harsh about it.

Uhmm their best luck is those shady places that don’t care… but actual places that have a good reputation or are well known, usually check ID unless you look way over the age limit…

Answer #6

these girls probably have older friends, or friends who have friends who will buy it for them. I was that age once and I did it too. so you probably should stop worrying, as long as they arent pushing you to do it, then you should just mind your own business right.

Answer #7

It’s so easy to find alcohol under the ago of 21. I’m seventeen too. And I’ve been able to get it for years. Friends, family, friends family, parties even. It’s easier than you think.
