Why do you need a driver's license to buy liquor when you can't drink and drive?

13 years ago

Because it has your name, address, and most importantly, your date of birth on it which proves you are old enough to buy alcohol.

You could also use a birth certificate or passport, but you are unlikley to carry a birth certificate around with you, and most young people probably don't have a pasport. Those who don't look like they are old enough are likely to have a drivers license though, and usually carry it around with them.

I'm sure you already knew the answer to that question though didn't you?

Perhaps you only wanted to get another backlink to your site.

If you need another backlink, don't hesitate to post another thread asking how to tie your shoelaces, or where do babies come from.

Thanks

Why are there braille pads at ATMs?

For that matter why are there braille pads at elevators?
If the person is alone, how do they know they are even at an elevator?

And if someone is with them, they can punch the floor for them.

Why do people say, "Can I ask you a question?" and then just ask their question without waiting for a response?

Thanks

Having braille printing on drive through ATMs, which banks have INTENTIONALLY gone out of their way to do, is MORONIC!!!!!! EVEN if the person COULD drive, and COULD use the machine, HOW can they count the money? HOW can they verify they got the right card back? HOW can they verify nobody else is there? I mean SERIOUSLY, just dump their accounts deposits on the street, it makes almost as much sense!

Hey Steve, our Canadian money has braille embedded in the top right hand corner of every bill. It's very discreet, you don't even realize it's there unless you are looking for it.

I can't speak for US money as I don't have a bill handy.

Actually you just need a valid i.d. For most people that means a driver's license, but some people just use state i.d.

I was in construction for over twenty years in California.
Had my own company before the "crash"

The ADA rules (Americans with Disabilities Act) was such a major deal when (and after) it came out, people were going far past requirements to avoid pretty big fines.

Some of the act did great things, some of what was required by local municipalities,( they are able to dictate over the requirements, just not to take away from any code), left you scratching your head.

I still think there was "extra" money in it for certain people connected to the industry.

Who is going to argue against helping the disabled?

LOL, one good use for a driver's license when buying liquor would be to take note of your license details and upload it to a general database, so that if you get into an vehicular accident on the same day/night that you bought liquor, they'd know that you bought liquor

Not EVEN. It's nobody's business if you buy liquor but your own. If you drive drunk they have breathalyzers and blood tests. You don't need them knowing what you bought. They know if you cause accidents while drunk and that is all they need to know. I'm over 21 and am guilty of nothing if I buy a bottle of booze.

Here's what's done over here:

It's a "proof of age" card, the ONLY purpose of which is proving your date of birth for the purpose of purchasing alcohol. (You are specifically prohibited from using it for any other purpose whatsoever).

Who is going to argue against helping the disabled?

My Uncle Pete. He turned against the ADA early on and once Uncle Pete made up his mind it was cast in concrete - right or wrong.

Uncle Pete went for his weekly bowling league and saw 8 of the prime parking spaces just in front of the door to the bowling alley had been marked as handicap spaces. He went early every week "to get a good spot" - so he was ticked.

He let everyone know what he thought about providing "special parking" at a bowling alley. For years he fussed about the ADA parking rules. For years he insisted he was right because any idiot could see those handicap spaces at the bowling alley were empty - and that's why (he said) they "shouldn't have put'em just outside the damned door".

I don't think he got it - but he was a hoot.

we need a driver's license because its shows your age that your a adult, your age are enough one to buy liquor, you always cant carry a birth certificate to proof age, where as license have all the information of your name , address and the most important is your age but don't drink while driving its very dangerous

You need to present them some valid ID so that they can see if you are of legal age. You could drink and drive but see to it you don't get caught and you are not drunk.

Why do you park your car in a driveway, and drive your car on the parkway?

Why do doctors and lawyers call their profession 'practice'?

Why do we call it a building, when it's already built?

So many questions no one has answers to....
