View Full Version : Tips on getting beer under 21

Situation: You aren't 21. You can't ask anyone you know who is 21.

Do you ask someone outside the gas station to go in and buy for you? What type of stores should you hit to have the most chance of success? What is the best time to find someone that would be willing to buy for you in the parking lot? What type of people should you look for and what is the best way to approach them? What is the standard tip?
Any tips/suggestions appreciated.

You owe me $50 for that Opeth song.

That said, go to a bodega and just walk in and buy it. Also make sure that you put your money on the counter before he has a chance to ask you for ID. It'll make him less likely to ask you for it.

EDIT: Actually, it was $100.

Eihli
04-27-2005, 10:51 AM
That's the kind of tip I was looking for. Thank you much.

About that Opeth song, I didn't know I posted that on this forum, but you wrote sheet music for it? Seriously?

edit: What is a bodega?

i guess unless you look 21 i wouldnt try to buy it --- im 25 and look older, well i think ---- and i still get my id checked, even to get in the casino which one of them is 18+

you might be able to get someone outside a store to buy it for you -- not sure never tried it -- i give them enough money where they could pick a six pack of their choice --- i also wouldnt give anyone a huge list maybe one bottle of booze or one case of beer

you really dont know anyone 21+ to buy it for you ---


cheers

Don't worry about it, I was just joking around. If you didn't find the thread, there's a link to some sheet music for that song here. (http://www.tbm.tudelft.nl/webstud/1235575/fixed/silhouette/)

Anyway, a bodega is like a small grocery store. You usually only find them in inner cities. What kind of area do you live in? That could help with the advice you get.

That's only the first and easiest 1:20 of the song that's 3:07 long, thanks though. And I live near an inner city with a lot of run down gas stations, but the 2 most run down I've tried both denied me. There were other people in the store at the time though, if I was alone do you think there would be a better chance?

19. I'm very knowledgable about how to buy beer underage.

I've come to assume that if they are going to sell it to you, they'll sell it to you outright. There's no need to come up with some story about how you left your id at some place to do something etc. Yes?

PoBoy321
04-27-2005, 11:12 AM
There's always a better chance when you're the only person in the store. When I was in high school, I used to buy cigarettes at this bodega in the bus station I took home from school. Anyway, I tried to buy them in there one day and the woman wouldn't sell them to me because the place was crowded. After that, if I wanted to buy and there were people around, I gave her a library card or something just to make it look like I was giving her ID.

Anyway, yeah, go in when there aren't other people around, because then the store owner doesn't have to worry about getting caught for selling underage.

Oh, and this is gonna sound racist so flame away, but make sure to get it from a clerk who's of a different ethnicity. Like if you're white, try to buy from a middle eastern/asian clerk. It's not because minorities are any less strict about carding, it's because people have more difficulty distinguishing between people of different races, so if you're white, you might be obviously under 21 to another white person, but an asian person might not be able to tell as easily.

And have you ever thought about getting a fake ID?

Yeah. Sometimes I've gone to places where I've bought before and forgotten my fake so I'll make something up. I usually tell them that I didn't bring my wallet, that I only have cash on me, but that I'll remember to bring my ID next time.

Could I get one today? I've avoided it because I hear of consequences of being caught with one in a casino, but I guess those consequences don't apply to a "bodega", so yeah I need to get one.

DireWolf
04-27-2005, 11:18 AM
get one that has a little disclaimer on the back that says something like "this a novelty item" or something like that. Its usually really small, and you get in a lot less trouble if you get caught.

Eihli

Obviously you dont see how a bunch of 21 year olds act like when there drunk in the bars.I couldnt imagine 18.

In fact I wouldnt mind if they raised the limit to 25, In some clubs this is the way it is here.

Here in California, ABC enforcmemnt has two stings they run in this regard.

They often have someone who is underage try to buy alcohol. If they are served, the site eventually has their liquor license suspended or revoked. This appears to be done a few times a month because I'm reading about stores/bars being punished for serving minors every month. Of course, this is a big state, so I think they choose sites with complaints against them.

The ABC also runs the "shoulder tap" program, where an underage person asks people to buy alcohol for them. The person who breaks the law and helps is charged. I'm not sure that this is very common, but they "advertise" this on their enforcment web page.

Many corporate stores and gas stations themselves use mystery shoppers who use underage persons to try and buy cigarettes and/or alcohol. The corporations themselves are often ensuring their facilities comply with their own policies and the law. The modest cost for this is tiny compared to either ABC fines/license removal or legal costs fighting lawsuits from an underage person's family if they get hurt drunk driving.

Any chain store or supermarket asks for ID of almost anyone as a corp standard. They will ask a 50 yr old for ID sometimes.

The "good news" for you is that by walking up to a store clerk, the worst they can say is 'no.' They're not going to call the cops on you.

On the other hand, if you are pulled over driving and have liquor in the car, you'd best have an explanation handy. Here in CA if you are a minor and have any alcohol in a breathalyzer or blood test, you risk a lengthy license suspension. The test threshold for DUI is .08, but for minors there is NO threshold -- any alcohol in your system gets you in trouble.

Look these aren't my words. But I guess the way most people would understand it is I dropped out, or quit. Remember, those are not my words. But yeah, does that explain how I don't know many 21+?

Eurotrash
04-27-2005, 11:54 AM
I would thought he meant that he dropped out.. but I suppose high school dropouts don't usually attend college.


but if he means that he graduated HS after 2 years, and college after two semesters?

that's unpossible.

If I had spent the time and effort to graduate, in what sense would I have beaten it? Going along with those shenanigans wouldn't be winning. That would be giving up, giving in, admitting defeat. I'm not a quitter, I proved I was better than it all. Anyway, we're way off subject. I was just trying to explain why I didn't know anyone 21+.

Obviously getting to know people 3 or 4 years older than you so they can buy you beer by the time you're 18 is a more than good enough reason to finish high school.

If you want to get nuts, find a store with the liquor aisle right next to the door.

On a random thursday night or something late at night, you and 1-2 other people walk in with a friend parked outside with the car running and you grab as much booze as you can and run like hell.

I have never done this before, my friends in high school always had fake id's

The only time I've ever heard of anyone getting in trouble with a fake ID was when the retard handed it to a cop. The worst I've ever heard from someone buying at a store was that they got the ID taken away, and even that isn't very common. Most likely, if they don't take it, they'd just turn you down.

04-27-2005, 12:25 PM
Actually, every time I've ever seen a store that sells "Passport photos," you go in, ask the guy for an ID and he'll make a fake ID for you. Assuming, of course, that it's not like, legitimate.

I have no idea how hard it is to make a fake ID. I've always bought mine from other people.

You can actually buy a laminator at OfficeMax/Staples/Office Depot for like $50. I'm pretty sure it would be easy to photoshop your pic onto an ID. If you were in highschool you could probably make a fortune selling them to friends too. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

You could try this one. I've never done it, but I saw it on CSI last night.

You and a bunch of friends (assuming that you have any, Mr. Imtoogoodforhighschool) go into a liquor store. One of you goes to buy beer and the rest of you act like a bunch of assholes. Throw stuff around the store, scream, shout and basically piss off the clerk. He'll want to get you out of the store as fast as he can so he'll just sell you the beer, no questions asked.

PoBoy321
04-27-2005, 12:29 PM
Yeah. The first time I ever bought a fake ID, I was like 16 and walking around MacDougal St. in NYC with a couple of friends of mine. We found some shady-ass tattoo parlor/head shop that had a sign in the window saying that they made passport photos. We walked in and I got my first ever fake ID for $35.

Im sure this has been said, but just go to some shady gas station or grocery store, and look for the bum thats always begging, offer him some cash an some of the bber, if hell go buy it for you. That or ask someone young (but obviously over 21), they will be sympathetic to your cause if they drink as well. The fraternity guy with 12 cases of natural light in his shopping cart is a good candidate.

It has everything to do with it. Seriously, you're doing something illegal. You can't all of a sudden be like "Well, I want to commit a crime by buying beer underage, but I'm not willing to do X, Y or Z because they would be wrong." Of course they're wrong. The whole shibangabang is wrong, but if you want to come out on top in this endeavor, you've gotta man up. It's the only way you can beat the liquor store.

Warning: I was too lazy to read through the rest of the threads here so this may have already been mentioned.

Find a beer distributor that delivers. When the guy gets to your house with the beer, have a friend answer the door while you are in the bathroom. The friend then calls out to you "Hey dad, the beer guy is here." You reply with, "Tell him to hang on, I should be done in here in about 10 to 15 minutes." Follow up this comment with some loud groaning like you are taking the [censored] of your life.

After waiting about 2-3 minutes, holler out "Hey Johnny, I am going to be in here for a while. There is some money on top of the refrigerator to give to the beer man." I think it would be safe to guess that the beer guy will just take the money and get the hell out of there 99 times out of 100.

I think we used this gimmick about 20 times at different friends houses and with different beer distributors throughout high school and there was only one time when it didnt work.

DireWolf
04-27-2005, 12:48 PM
I would just call some kids who go to your old high school, and ask them how they get beer. most people in high school find some way to get it, so it shouldn't be that big of a problem.

How is it dumb?

So how is it dumb to say that if you're going to buy beer underage, you're going to have to stretch your morals a little bit?

No, we usually didnt have the money for that back in high school with the deposits that are required and all that. We usually just got 2-3 cases.

Also, this was only used in the rare situations when we couldnt steal the beer ourselves. I had one buddy that worked at a bar and one that worked at a club, and the amount of beer and liquor that we stole from those places could not possible be quantified.

Fine, so I elaborated on an earlier post. Whatever, is there any point in getting into an argument over the morality of buying beer underage?

Hypothetically, you can buy blank ID cards on eBay, say 100 or so for about $20+shipping. Now, you can hypothetically use Photoshop and any other resources you may have to create the front of the id, and print it out on transparency paper. Put that trasparency over some ribbon from a craft store that shimmers like a hologram, and rubber cement it to the ID card (make sure the rubber cement is dry and tacky before pressing it together).

I hear if you do all of this you can make a pretty legit ID and sell them for $40 a pop to others.

Not that I sustained myself freshman year by doing anything of the sort...

Nobody worry, everything is cool. I went to a place I use to work and one of my old 21+ friends that I havn't talked to in over a year was there. Success.

Stupid. Just go buy P.O.T.

P.O.T. is much better than drinking beer and its easier to get girls loosened up when they are smoking the green. Plus, you don't have to piss every few minutes and if you are drinking lots of beer, having to piss can mess with your wood when you are hooking up.

P.O.T. is also more social. Ever sit around and pass a bottle of beer to the group? If you do, you are probably fruity. Roll a big fattie and pass that bitch around. When a girl you like wants a hit, take a big rip and blow it in her mouth. If she gets freaked out, just tell her you were stoned and she is so hot it made you do what you did (of course, don't blow the smoke until you've inhaled it and held it, chicks don't need that much to get messed up and even when they are not messed up and everyone else is they will pretend to be messed up to fit in. In fact, its usually the sober ones that take their clothes off first and start blowing guys because they need to prove they are lit up like everyone else) But I digress.

Stop with the beer now. P.O.T. is illegal for people under AND over 21. Yet, you see fools holding all the time. Get your ass connected and get some.

Guess what. You got bud? Yeah. Want some? Go buy me some goddamn beer!

See. If you really want beer, get yourself some P.O.T.

P.O.T. is like a commodity. Any A-hole can bring a 6 pack. Those who bring bud, get all the hairpie and they can make the others bring them beer and make burrito runs.

Figure it out.

By the way, its not really a big deal to get busted with P.O.T. (unless you are Nate Newton). For bying beer underage, the punishment is about the same (it might be worse because some states make you go to AA and mess with your license and sh!t). P.O.T. is only a ticket. Is there a ticket for smoking under age? I don't think so.

Your parents might find out, but who cares? They should be HAPPY you are smoking weed. It shows you are smarter than the rest and are socially adept.

As a brit I always find it ironic that in the US there is the right to carry firearms, the death penalty; yet 20 years old's cant legally buy a beer.

that's not ironic at all.. it is kind of silly though.

That being said, its prob next to impossible to get someone to buy me beer (luckily i have friends that look older). But last weekend (prom night) i almost ended up standing outside cub liquor and asking people. Anyone else tried this looking extremely young? And if they have, does it work better to be selective, or to just spam the hell out of everyone at the door (obviously out of the attendents view)?

Obviously im not going to get ANY respect for this comment after my post above, but i couldn't disagree more. Anyone wanna back me up on this? When your high you have no ambition and are lazy, when your drinking, it is proven that the average person becomes friendlier and lets down suspicion of others intent. So pretty much, you are more open (this is excluding the aggressive shitfaced people).

I've only bought beer for someone once. It was this gangster looking dude that walked up to me outside a liquor store around 10 PM. I don't know why I bought beer for him and not the others that asked me other than the fact that I didn't want any trouble. LOL.

My suggestion: Dress in gangster clothing and ask someone who's alone. Don't tip, I'm sure you can find someone who'll buy you beer for free as long as you approach the right person.

Obviously, you haven't considered how this would change if those same 21 year olds had been able to drink at a much earlier age.

It really doesn't matter how old you look. People are gonna either buy for you or not. Look for a liquor store with either homeless or serious alcholics around. 99 percent of those guys will buy for you. Young military lookin guys also tend to buy for underagers. I would avoid older men, as you never know when youll run into a cop and avoid all women.

Gotta tip, I wouldn't feel right not tipping. For anyone interested, I didn't know how expensive this stuff was. I spent $60 on just the alcohol, + $20 tip, + $20 on Dr. Pepper and beef jerkey while I was waiting in line. $20 for a bottle of Wild Turkey? Is that normal?

Here in California, ABC enforcmemnt has two stings they run in this regard.

They often have someone who is underage try to buy alcohol. If they are served, the site eventually has their liquor license suspended or revoked. This appears to be done a few times a month because I'm reading about stores/bars being punished for serving minors every month. Of course, this is a big state, so I think they choose sites with complaints against them.

The ABC also runs the "shoulder tap" program, where an underage person asks people to buy alcohol for them. The person who breaks the law and helps is charged. I'm not sure that this is very common, but they "advertise" this on their enforcment web page.

I've tried sitting in a car out of the attendents view but close enough to the parking spots in front. As they get out of the car I just ask them if they could do me a favor and they'll know exactly what you mean. Most people just say no and go in the liqour store but about 1 in every 5 will do it. I usually tip them about 5 bucks.

PS: I look pretty young.

Gas station. Give some blue-collar looking guy in his 20s (the more redneck, the better) $20 and ask him to buy you a 12-pack of beer. Tell him to keep the change.
