If your son is an Illinois resident they're not going to let him buy beer. I turned 21 over 2 months ago but was told at Wrigley that I couldn't buy beer because my ID says "Under 21 Until January 31, 2008". When I explained that it says UNTIL a date that has already passed, the manager told me that while "there was no denying" that I'm 21, it's the policy of the house not to sell to anyone who has "under 21 until" on their ID. It's probably the dumbest policy I've ever heard of -- in place no doubt to prevent the morons who check IDs from getting "confused". The result is that now I either need to go to the DMV to get a license that isn't expired, get someone to buy me beer, or use a fake -- which are never sniffed out. I'm guessing they did that because kids used to doctor the red IDs to make them look like they were over 21. My ex (and all her friends, actually), who was born in 84, used a red pen to fill in the number 4 so that it looked like a 1 (since the b-date is in white numbers on a red box). Viola, real fake ID that always worked, despite the fact that the ID still had the right "under 21 until" date on it. Probably only worked because they were girls. Anyway, zero tolerance on red IDs = none of that crap.
