If we are continuing to sell alcohol amid a global pandemic, a national catastrophe, and an economic depression, can we please dispense with the charade of checking adults& #39; IDs for alcohol purchases?
I mean, I have a mask on. You can& #39;t even see me! But, you know what? You& #39;re right. At Target at 8 pm on Thursday, with my thinning salt and pepper hair, scraggly beard, and dad bod, I could be twelve.
Maybe it& #39;s time we re-think the whole carding process?

Better yet, let& #39;s rethink the whole drinking age. If you are old enough to fake an ID and put one over on an adult checking to make sure you don& #39;t sneak some beers, guess what!? In my mind, you& #39;ve earned that case of Coors Light.
You know what kids who can& #39;t get beer do? They wait outside of stores and ask someone to go in for them. Or they raid an adult& #39;s liquor cabinet. They go to their drinky, weirdo friend& #39;s house. And probably have some of the best nights of their life.
But yes, let& #39;s keep Boone& #39;s Hill out of the hands of 18 year olds. Because this is America, where no one drinks later in life.
We must wait until we& #39;re 21 to drink legally. Know what is okay for teens? Handing them a gun or the keys to a one-ton piece of flying metal.
I& #39;m beginning to think checking for IDs is like worry about voter fraud. Does the fraud exist in any meaningful way?

For a lot of students, college literally is a way to circumvent drinking laws. Hey, I& #39;ll spend $30,000 a semester to live at a place that doesn& #39;t care if I get shit-faced every night! When I was at Trinity, literally the first question I heard asked was about the alcohol policy.
In a country that deems liquor stores & carry-out Margarita shops essential businesses, I think we can use common sense when it comes to enforcing ID checks.
I will say this: thank go our president is a man of god who doesn& #39;t drink. Cuz if he did, crazy shit might happen.

In the meantime, let& #39;s enjoy a few extra minutes of an essential worker being in our six feet of space so they can type in your birthday four times before the "self-checkout" computer accepts it.
End rant.
