PSA to parents of college kids

[Anonymous]

Your kid has a fake ID or will soon get one.

College towns typically have bars and restaurants that don’t ask questions when it comes to fake IDs. They also have bars and restaurants that take a hardline and turn kids away at the door.

Kids figure out pretty quickly where they can go and where they must avoid.

Cops in college towns are typically pretty lax: they tend to confiscate the fake ID and give them a warning. Sometimes they issue a citation that leads to community service.

Here’s the PSA: kids get accustomed to easily using their fake ID since there aren’t real consequences in their college town…and they try to use them elsewhere like DC, Ocean City, a casino, etc. and there are real consequences because the cops aren’t lenient.

Talk to your kids about this.

PS - I know you think your snowflake would never have a fake ID, but trust me even the bookish kids have them. They are so easy to get online or through a trusted local source.

The drinking age should really be 18.

I never had a fake ID. My student will barely be allowed off campus.

I think you're projecting a bit.

We know. And don’t care.

Who is "allowing" your adult student's movements on and off campus?

Thank you, op. I hadn’t thought of this and it’s good advice.

But, OP raises some important points.

So ridiculous that 18 year olds can’t drink legally.

The school itself.

Yup, DC showed me theirs, very realistic I might add!

The key is knowing where to get a good one

[Anonymous]

Oh please. At most, the ID will be confiscated.

A very controlling one.
