I agree with you now

Just a small correction, it's not a Satanic church it's The Satanic Temple.

I second Bethlehem. Musikfest, Godfrey’s, Funhouse, Artsquest, and Windcreek events to name a few. Surrounding you’ve got Easton and Allentown too both of which have solid venues.

He needs life in the big house with lots of big men. Or a slow, painful death over years. I'll help.

What part of Pa?

Central PA bartender here. You have a 50/50 chance and should hope for a lenient door person and/or bartender. If anything, make sure you have debit cards or credit cards with your name and probably even your Pitt ID. Good luck and happy early birthday!

It's 16. Before 16 is 5 years. After 16 is 10.

We don't have enhanced here in PA. You can also use a EDL to go to some Caribbean countries too.

Life w/o a chance of parole

Worst case scenario go to the next regular town over. They will either accept or not even ask

Waiting to get my passport after I turn 21 so it lasts longer! And my ny id will be enhanced so I can get to Canada and Mexico :)

Def bring the picture id. They'll want to see that the picture matches you even if the id is expired.

Yeah OP, what if you need to leave the US. Should always maintain a passport at all times. You never know

I second this. Once you have a passport, it's a good backup as u/getfocused12 says, but it also will probably lead to you taking an out of country trip, even if it's "just" to Canada. You're more likely to go when you have it. And if an opportunity comes up to travel, you won't have to worry about getting the passport then and worrying whether it'll show up on time.

Appreciate that, I really respect people that take in new information and let it change their mind.

Yeah, AA has always been straight bullshit.

Before someone gets offended: if you used AA and are now sober, that's great! However I bet you have more willpower than you think you do.

As The Satanic Temple would probably say, "Believe on yourself."

Liquor store employee here. Any Fine Wine and Good Spirits store SHOULD accept a temporary ID. Bring the expired one for good measure.

Whether they will or not they’ll actually accept it is another question. Each store seems to be run differently even though we shouldn’t be. Or they might not card you at all. 50/50 chance of it in my experience.

I didn't end up having to go but when I went I was going with a three pronged argument of I can't be unbiased against cops in a trial, I know about jury nullification and eyewitness testimony is actually really unreliable as my reasoning to say that I would vote to acquit regardless of the law or the evidence.

There may be one bouncer/bartender/etc who's a dick about it but I'm guessing most would just wish you a happy birthday and not mention the expiration date. If you're going with friends just mention the possibility to them and you should go in first (so they can easily bounce if you get bounced)

You can’t eat your cake and have it too.
