Does anybody know if you have to have a government issued proof of age card/drivers license to buy alcohol or cigarettes, or is it possible to just use a school i.d card?

I know that you need one for clubs, but not sure about other things…

Don’t pick your nose, and don’t forget to wash behind your ears.

don’t believe the hype.

Frankenstein, the only time you are ever going to remotely need the government id card is when there are some hotties up buying ciggies/alcohol and you want to impress them. Pulling out your Charnwood High id card is a bad move in that instance.

Therefore, the benefit of having a govt id card is that it’s rather more discreet than any other form of id, other than your passport.

They should only really accept a passport or an Australian proof of age card or drivers licnce.

Unless you’re cute and blonde and from Austria, and then you smile and they let you in, regardless. Seems to also get you free drinks.

passports and birth certificates will work.

If you’re not actually old enough then it’s quickest and easiest, and less likely to lead to trouble, to find an 18 year old willing to help you out.

and listen to john safrans take on the sunsreen song. the tip on underpants is gold.

James, that’s all I needed to know.

and if you need to listen to musac listen to Mozart.

And if you need a woman make sure she is not a skank.

alcohol and ciggies will not advance your life. the ciggies have made me poor and cough in mornings, and alcohol has led me into many dubious and costly situations.
if you smoke, make it the finest cigars.
if you drink, go top shelf.
and do it rarely but with purpose.

thats a dumb question. of course you need an official one.
