In college, I used my sister's old ID. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266790 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 08:58:58 +0000 AmandaB8 2266790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never needed one - I got into bars just fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266758 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 08:36:33 +0000 Alivoo01 2266758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I was the youngest in my internship class (20 vs 21+) so my cousin took me to a shady part of town and got me a fake ID. It also got me into a few clubs they went to that summer. </p> <p>Just be warned, if you're on 6th street in Austin, TX - they can spot a fake a mile away!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266728 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 08:16:14 +0000 Corduroy 2266728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a terrible one that I used to get into R rated movies when I was 16. I was one of the youngest in my class and my boyfriend was a year older. I would have had no social life without that thing. It was way easier to get booze than it was to get into the movies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266683 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 07:41:45 +0000 rachiecakes 2266683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: haha I lent mine to my best friend so she could get a tattoo :shocked: (I'm 8 months older and we had just graduated high school) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266659 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 07:29:22 +0000 Mrs. Peanut 2266659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never! I knew I wanted to become a teacher so to me, the risk of getting caught was too high. One underage drinking charge can keep you from a job for a lifetime out here where there are SO many candidates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266569 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 22:35:29 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2266569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an ID of a 34 year old I found on the floor of a grocery store when I was 19.</p> <p>I used it one time to buy a margarita at an Applebees. Woopwoop! I know, I went overboard. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266510 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 21:00:17 +0000 californiadreams 2266510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm from Montreal where the legal drinking age is 18. So I basically kept my older sister's expired driver license in my wallet from age 16-18. We would even go out to bars together but just enter 5 mins apart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266507 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 20:58:37 +0000 mrsrain 2266507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always been way to cautious to do anything like that! I think I maybe had a glass of wine at my sister's place before 21, but that's about it! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266461 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 19:36:58 +0000 Charm54 2266461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did but I only used it maybe once in my first year of university ...I was a chicken. After that I turned 19 and was legal here in good old Canada and didn't need it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266456 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 19:33:11 +0000 skipra 2266456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I didn't really need one because the legal drinking age was 18. I did use my sister's a couple times but that's it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266433 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 19:03:01 +0000 ShootingStar 2266433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I made them. I was a pro at photoshop. We took our learners permits and sanded them down and adhered the fakes on top. Worked amazingly well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266421 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 18:51:29 +0000 BSB 2266421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, but my sister let me use her ID a few times.</p> <p>I do know someone who paid $500 to someone in China to make a fake ID and it looks real. She sent them her photo and told them what info to have on the ID. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266417 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 18:46:00 +0000 MrsRcCar 2266417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No need. A friend of mine was dating a guy that owned a club. It was fun while it lasted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266412 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 18:41:23 +0000 blackbird 2266412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never needed one in college. I wish I had one the summer I lived in Georgia with DH, though, because I was only 20 :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266404 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 18:35:20 +0000 erinpye 2266404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Never needed one. I wasn't interested in drinking before college, and in college alcohol was easy enough to get. My sister used my ID a couple of times, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266403 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 18:34:28 +0000 lady baltimore 2266403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did. From what I recall, I needed it more for buying from liquor stores than getting into the hole-in-the-wall bars we favored (in NYC). </p> <p>My favorite was the liquor store attendant in western Maryland (I was visiting a friend) who looked at my fake and declared, "I'm from Florida, and I have never seen a Florida ID that looks like this, but it says 'genuine', so I guess it must be." :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266379 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 18:05:34 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2266379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an (old) real ID for an acquaintance who looked similar to me. I used it a few times without problem but tried to get into a bar in a city I didn't know and it turns out the bar prided itself on stopping fakes. It got taken up. :bummed:</p> <p>ETA: I was much more into the frat scene so I didn't need a fake much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266344 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 16:26:23 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2266344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an ID that wasn't mine, but it was my sister's real ID and we look alike. I also was so afraid of getting caught that I only used it a total of about 3 times to order a glass of wine at a restaurant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266334 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 16:11:28 +0000 PawPrints 2266334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I didn't need one since my college social scene revolved around frats (if you were into that) and room parties/apartment parties. You could always get a senior to buy a handle of liquor for your party, or go to the frats for (nasty) beer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266329 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 16:06:34 +0000 YouGotMe 2266329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in Canada so the legal drinking age is 19 or 18 some places. </p> <p>I attended school in a boarder town so had no need.</p> <p>Edited because baby hit enter :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266327 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 16:05:42 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2266327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not exactly. There was one time when a friend brought along someone else's real ID that looked similar to me so we could enter a club. I didn't get to keep the ID for later use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266322 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 15:57:48 +0000 looch 2266322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. And it was done old school, with a Polaroid camera in front of a sheet.</p> <p>It did get taken away, when I got too bold and tried to use it at a legit bar near Fenway one night.</p> <p>Eta: there was no Greek scene at my school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266321 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 15:57:48 +0000 mrsjyw 2266321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I was old for my "grade," I did lend mine to a couple friends though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266319 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 15:57:07 +0000 MrsSCB 2266319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. Well, it was a real ID...but not mine. ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266318 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 15:56:29 +0000 MaryM 2266318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. My roommate made a fake one (her license was laminated plastic so it was too easy to alter!). We used the pass back method a couple times, but I wasn't a huge drinker in college so I didn't really need one. And the local bar didn't stop you if you walked in without offering an ID. </p> <p>My SIL let me use her student ID once when I was out with her and my brother. I like to scare her to death thinking of her own kids doing things like that for their siblings :)</p> <p>But the laws weren't followed nearly as closely then as they are now so it was easier to get away with fakes and using other people's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266317 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 15:56:25 +0000 Mrs D 2266317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes - but it was only to be 19 so I could get in to the bars in Canada...</p> <p>Apparently at 18 you think its NBD to break the laws in other countries!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-fake-id#post-2266313 Tue, 18 Aug 2015 15:55:28 +0000 .twist. 2266313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not. However, I did frequent some shady pubs that didn't check for ID soooo... . </p>
