    I think the only thing they really accept abroad is passports, i know my friend had a bit of trouble with her driving liscence when she was in America because they are not familiar with them.

    I wonder how true that is - coming from you.

    You could always photocopy your passport and change it a bit, I know some people who have gotten away with that.

    It really depends, many places in the US are really tight, the fines for serving under age drinkers are high so they make sure they cover their own arse.

    You're best bet would be to go to a small place, not a chain bar or restaurant.

    Take some with you, it shouldn't be that difficult to take a bottle of vodka in your luggage.

    One of my mates studying in the US got hit with a $300 fine for being caught with a fake ID in California which is traditionally one of the more 'liberal' states. Personally I wouldn't risk it as they're absolute Nazis about it over there.

    On my recent 24 hour jaunt to the UK, I had the pleasure of being able to whip out my passport in Miami airport and buy a drink in the US for the first time ever.

    If you get one make sure it is a Uni ID card, those European ones look a bit sus I think.

    Random.

    Quite how you feel comfortable abusing people from ages ago, and who got banned long before you were here, is unclear.

    Though yes, he is a bit miserly with the truth.

    My bf went to America in the summer and was always being id as he only looks about 22, even though he is 27. They really cover there backs over there as the fines are so high for serving underage people. So he went around with his pastport at all times, even though he has a photograpic driving liscence in his wallet, as not everywhere expects them over there, but I believe it is improving.
