    this sounds like the technique I used to purchase alcohol when I was 16, in the 90’s.

    Match my face to an older guys photo id…

      When I was a kid back in the 80s the shop owner never even bothered to check. He just sold us the alcohol.

      It’s kind of bad really thinking about it, but no one used to check and no one used to care. I don’t even remember my parents being particularly bothered about it. I’m sure they would have been if we’d actually got in trouble for it but we used to just go home and drink quietly so no one official ever found out.
