Yeah, let that irony drink in…
You have to show ID. It doesn’t have to be a driver’s license. Many states, mine included, issue cards that are solely for identification and that’s it.
Pretty sure every state has non-drivers ID
Yes, but if you already have a driver’s licence, you cannot get a non-driver ID. I tried that before, they refuse to issue both, it’s an either/or, but you can’t have both.
South Mississippi here, dunno about other states though.
Why would you want to surrender your license in exchange for a non-driver’s ID?

Yes, very true. But you can’t get both a citizen ID and a Driver’s License at the same time, that’s forbidden by the DMV, at least down here in south Mississippi.
Believe me, I tried exactly that after I lost my driver’s license once, they refused to issue me a non-driver citizen ID, as I was still a registered driver, so they just reprinted my last driver’s license instead, despite my request for a non-driver ID.
I’m not sure where you are, but I’d guess 95% of people’s ID cards down this way are driver’s licenses, not pedestrian IDs.
Edit: I love getting downvoted for spitting proven tested facts about the legal system, that’s awesome 👍 /s
Whatever, votes don’t matter anyways, facts are real though.
Why would you want to surrender your right to drive?
It would have been cheaper to get a non-driver ID as I didn’t have a car anymore at the time. Still don’t actually, whenever I do need to drive, I have to borrow my mom’s car or roommate’s SUV.
But hey, I got a license 👍
Passports and Passport cards are also a thing… lmao
Passport? Well look at Mr. Moneybags over here… 😂🤣
It’s cheaper than alcoholism, pal
Beer costs half as much as a candybar or a soda here, so are you sure about that?
$1.70 for 32 ounce beer here. Hell, that’s even cheaper than 32 ounces of bottled filtered water.
Driver license? I don’t have one, I use my health care card. Which, yeah, is just as sensical ;)
Massachusetts has liquor license IDs.
LOL, we can just as easily get a plain citizen ID, non-driver ID, which is just as legit as proof of ID. But by far and wide, most people get a driver’s licence, even if they have no clue how to drive…
You can’t get both types of ID at the same time though.
But a specific liquor license? That actually makes more sense really. Does that apply for beer as well?
But… Healthcare card? Damn! 😂🤣
Yes beer as well. Massachusetts is incredibly anal about IDing. If you’re from out of state you better have a passport, even for American citizens.
I have absolutely no problem showing my ID if I want to purchase beer (most around my area already know me and don’t bother checking my ID, but still…)
The irony isn’t that they check ID, it’s the type of ID they expect, like 95% of the time it’s the customer’s driver license…
Wait wait wait wait, holup…
You gotta have a passport to visit your state? Like, my verified RealID license card isn’t enough?
If that’s the case, then what in the literal fuck? Is Massachusetts even part of the USA anymore?
You can use any valid government issue identification to get alcohol. You don’t need a driver’s license, that is just the most common form of ID. You can use a passport, you can get an ID from the DMV that does not permit you to drive, you can even use a Merchant Mariner Card.
The amount of people lashing out for a shower thought… It is just a shower thought, people.
OP never claimed it was the only way to verify your age. OP just says it is ironic, which it is! That’s all…
Indeed, thanks for recognizing that 👍
Nope. I don’t have a driver’s license and I can buy alcohol with my State ID.
You’re fucking stupid mate XD
Dude… chill. It’s a shower thought
Never lovingly been called a dumbass I guess, spose you’d need friends for that to happen
I can definitely take the loving hit of being called a dumbass once in a while when it’s called for, I’ve had plenty of friends in my life that talk to each other like that.
But… That’s not the words you used…
I’m not even mad, but yeah ‘fucking idiot’ is a little less than friendly cool.
I’ll leave it at that, again not mad. Let’s all try to have a good new year at least, and stay safe and stay warm…
Ahh mate, must be fuckin stupid or something cos it was obvious aye
