I imagine. When I buy booze they scan the back of my DL, which I assume contains all the same info as the front.
ETA: What you 'fraid of, McLovin? |

I've bought booze in three different states: Oklahoma, Texas, and Arizona. All of the cashiers that have asked for i.d. have only looked for a birthdate and that was it. My DL has never left my wallet/hand.

I visited family in Indiana a couple months ago and that is the law there.If you buy beer or wine in a grocery/convenience store you MUST show I.D..I THINK they only copy the DOB but not sure of that.
My Dad,who drinks a couple beers a MONTH,had to show his driver's license to buy a 6 pack in Walmart.....he's 86 years old. This law evidently does not apply in liquor stores or taverns.....where you MIGHT be required to show I.D. |

What do the illegal shit bags do, or are they exempted from this also? Turning over your name, address, birth date and DL number/SS number seems a little extreme for buying booze.

Th same place around here that scans IDs also asks for your address to join their getting drunk club. I don't think they really keep the info. I think its just a company policy put in place to thwart McLovin's with fake IDs.

Whenever I buy beer at a gas station in Greenville, VA, they always ask me for my birthday and write it down. I guess it's their way of proving that they checked ID.

Probably some sort of system that can tell if the DL number and the birthdate match up. Good way to get rid of people using fake IDs to buy alcohol. Good idea if it is the way I explained it.

I spent 26 years of my life in Virginia.
I've been here in Colorado now for about 8 months, and I'm still getting used to buying liquor at places that don't have this above the door: 
I'm still getting used to seeing liquor stores the size of Costco, and seeing Costco stores that sell liquor! It's a brave, brave new world...

THAT sucks. I've never seen beer for sale at a liquor store around here, but I can buy as much as I can cram into my 4Runner at the grocery store. I've seen people actually do that at Longwood, four people with two shopping carts each overflowing with cases of cheap shitty beer and loading it all into one suffering Exploder. I don't know if we can technically buy "carry out" beer at the bar...I used to do it when I was in a band, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't legal. |

LOL There's a nice liquor chain in Houston called Specs, if you join their mailing list you get a member card where you get discounts, rack up points for something or another. When the cashier scans your card your name pops up on their screen. Went with a friend once and the cashier said "Hi Mr. MACD, how are you today?" friend: "WTF, they know you by name?"  CSB |

Quoted: Quoted: Take a trip to California. No thank you. _MaH Nevada is even better. But to do either, you have to step over Utah. But for the absolute f-up in alcohol laws, NOTHING beats Texas where governments down to the precinct can make laws. The little unincorporated town of Fort Davis (Davis Mountains, north of Big Bend) is like this. On the north side of town by the National Historic Park, stores are free to sell. But down by the court house on the south end of main drive, alcohol is only sold by a private club. This precinct covers the Hotel Limpia, complete with a bar. But if you are a guest of the Limpia, you have automatic membership in the club. Outsiders can join the club to drink, something like $5 for a month membership. |

You recall rather incorrectly, sir. At best, it's becoming purple because of the second wave of carpet-bagging Yankee morons who flee the failed policies of their homeland to beautiful Virginia, yet begin voting to implement the same failed policies there all over again. Virginia has had Democrats run the state in its past that make many of today's Republicans look like communists. No sir, Virginia's problem isn't Democrats –– it's the god damn Yankees. _MaH |
