Obviously it’s illegal, but I was curious about the logistics of it, and someone here might answer the question I’ve had for years.

So, I’ve often wondered if say a 16-18 year old works at like a Wal-Mart or Dollar General, could they hypothetically buy alcohol? I have no clue how the card ID thing works btw. I’ve just seen them take the license, type some shit, then they say “When were you born?” you answer, you’re all good. So like do they put in the year it says on your card, or what? I am asking as someone underage, I am not asking so I can do it, I am just curious about the logistics.
