Liquor store

now doesnt this look like a very american liquor store?
i still cant get used to the fact that you have to goto a separate store to buy alcohol. its weird and inconvenient... even so we dont drink that much... :) ah, and lets not forget tha you need to show you are above 21! even if you are not buying the alcohol, but just came along.. if not everyone in your party can prove they are above 21, you sometimes wont get it (but i wrote about that once before). but the most frustrating is when you goto a restaurant, and dont get your drink, as has happened to me far too often by now (i dont always take my passport with me, and that always turns out to be the case when i want a drink... )
ah well... at least its cheaper that way... ;)

But you must be flattered, they don't think you are 21..... But I admit that is not a nice diner culture over there. To show your passport as an adult in a restaurant is humiliating.

no... i believe they are required to ask anyone who looks younger than 40 years old for ID. so if they dont ask me, they think im 10 years older than i am! hihihihihi!

actually, the most frustrating thing is that often they do not even allow you to enter a bar if you cant prove you are above 21, even if you dont intend to drink alcohol!!

Why don't you get a Liqour ID? It's $25 and credit card size so easy to bring in your wallet. You must have a SSN though... + document proving birth date (e.g. birth certificate or passport) + document proving signature (e.g. passport, SSN card or lease contract) http://www.mass.gov/rmv/license/13liqID.htm
