I had two ideas that I could have used, not saying I did because that'd be illegal to do and I don't break laws on the internet.

1) The 4 in 1984 on the NCDL could easily be scratched into a 1 with an exacto knife.
2) Use my older brother's ID.

not drinking a drop until I was 21 like you are supposed to you thugs

9/29/2013 8:14:51 PM

I could grow a beard in high school so I didn't get carded when I wanted to drink. Pissed me off when I turned 21 tho because I wanted to get carded

9/29/2013 8:16:58 PM

Not drinking until I was 23

9/29/2013 8:37:02 PM

never tried because i looked like i was 16 when i was 20

9/29/2013 10:48:56 PM

Back in 1992 I took my older brother's birth certificate and went to the DMV. He was 6'2", I was 5'10". I wore also wore his dingo snakeskin boots.

The best high I ever got was from this. No drugs ever got me even close to this. Walking into a DMV and getting a legit drivers license at the age of 17.

And the DMV officer was about 6'5". How he didn't suspect me, I don't know.

It worked for me until 2 months before my 21st. While at Appstate, I got busted at the Teeter on 321 by the ALE. Hired good ole Tom Speed as a lawyer and got it dismissed.

Me too, I looked old for my age. For the most part, if you went in to certain stores and and put the beer on the counter with confidence, no one said shit. Hell, I once walked out of the Circle K on Pullen and Western carrying two cases of beer in front of 2 RPD cops sitting there, walked past them like a boss. It was all about confidence. Of course, I agree it did suck to actually be legal and not get carded, but fuck it.

I got my first fake ID when I was a Freshman at NCSU. DLs were still laminated back then, so I just scanned it, changed the 8 in 1978 to a 3, and laminated the new one. It was pretty blurry/pixellated, but it worked like 90% of the time.

From my sophomore year until I turned 21, I used a duplicate of my friend's older brother's ID. He was 6 years older than me and we looked nothing alike, but that one only got rejected once.

9/30/2013 7:35:55 AM

I gave my ID to someone to use after I turned 21 for a reasonable sum in return. About 5 years later I got a random facebook message from this younger girl that i somewhat knew, but hadn't talked to for years. Apparently my ID had been passed down from the original guy to several people and wound up in the hands of her boyfriend at the time. He was 19 and had just had it taken by some bouncers or cops at a bar. She was ballsy enough to ask if she could get another copy of my ID for him.

9/30/2013 8:36:31 AM

When I turned 21 I "gave" a duplicate ID to a younger friend that looked a lot like me. He looked so much like me, in fact, he probably could have gotten me in some serious trouble. He got in some trouble with the law and the police officer found 2 IDs in his wallet (his and mine). The police officer had to ask him which one was his because he couldn't tell.

9/30/2013 8:51:52 AM

Using an older friend's old id. It didn't look anything like me. Said I was like 25 and 6'4". I was really 20 and 5'9". But I only used it a handful of times to get into bars. I never tried to use it at the grocery store or anything like that.

Me and my friends didn't go to many bars until after we were 21. We still drank and parties but got other people to buy us alcohol.

I used a friend's ID as well. Only thing we had in common is that we were both Indian. I'm way taller, and he was a lot darker.

But this is one instance where the underlying racial prejudices of the south worked in my favor. We all look alike to average white folks anyway.

9/30/2013 9:16:54 AM

what's funny is I had a thermal card printer at my first job in high school and could have printed VERY convincing id's but never did. the kids that would have asked me for an id were total dicks anyway

I actually felt more comfortable using it at grocery stores than at bars, and never got denied at a grocery store. I even bought beer at a grocery store using my NCSU Student ID once, which didn't even have a birth date on it. Bouncers at bars are trained to spot fakes. Grocery store workers are typically High School or College part-timers who either have never been trained to spot a fake ID or don't give a shit.

^looking back, you're absolutely right. At the time I think my line of thinking was that if I tried to use it to actually buy beer, there was a greater chance of me getting in trouble. If I was just trying to get into a bar, they'd just say no and I'd be on my way. That seems stupid now (and isn't even all that accurate) but that's kinda what I was thinking back then I guess.

Never needed a fake ID. Sent people of age to the ABC store. I didn't go out and drink until I was of age.

The first 1 on those licenses could easily be scratched off for people who had November/December births as well. Thus turning a birthday such as 11/01/78 into 1/01/78. Very few gas station attendants knew it was supposed to say 01/01/78 instead of 1/01/78 back in the day.

9/30/2013 10:50:32 AM

Oh shit, I forgot about the scratching method. I remember trying to scratch the 8 in 1978 on mine into a 5. Instead, I got 197S. It still worked at gas stations if I left it in the plastic holder of my wallet, but if they asked me to pull it out I was screwed. Looking back, changing it to a 3 would have probably been way more convincing.

9/30/2013 11:11:04 AM

it was awesome when the state was using the shitty licenses that kept losing the glossy hologram cover and delaminating, they would wear so much naturally that no one could tell that your 4 became a 1

9/30/2013 11:48:05 AM

the scratching thing was great.

in high school we had a small gas station ran by a couple Haitian guys. After a few visits we befriended them and they'd sell to us no questions asked. Once they learned we smoked weed they started asking us to smoke up behind the store in exchange for beer, which was never a problem.

that was our main hookup for a solid year and a half. late senior year this loser told his sister, who was our resource officer, and she used him to set up a sting and busted them for selling underage. they were gone a couple weeks later and the gas station went under new management and brand right after that.

9/30/2013 11:54:29 AM

in high school the bad kids would just walk into a store and walk out with beer, most grocery stores are not allowed to stop shoplifters, then they would sell it to all of the preppy kids.

9/30/2013 12:02:17 PM

I rarely used a fake ID, but when I did, it just someone else's ID that was older than me. Only thing was, the kid was like 6'3" and I was 5'7". It never failed, however.

When I turned 21, I made like 6 duplicates and gave them to all of my younger friends. Apparently it worked pretty well for a while. Although one dumb kid tried to use it to get into the bar I was working at. Dumbass.

I never needed one since Im Native American.

I dont know if they feel like asking for my ID would be discriminatory or what?
