Growing up isn't getting a job. It isn't being allowed to drink. It's recognizing that your actions have consequence beyond your little world and that what you do could have reprocussions beyond yourself.

On fake IDs: The bar owner who lets you in, unless a court or the police decide the fake was so good there's no way the owner could know the difference, also faces fines, suspension (being forced to close temporarily, which means losing business, which will put a business under if it happens enough), and outright revocation of the liquor license. That means the bar is out of business. It has happened to bars with chronic problems with underage drinkers. Even if the business doesn't go under, employees who sell liquor and cigarettes can be fined and even fired for failing to spot a minor.

There's one thing to smoke pot or whatever floats your boat in your own private residence where the only person who can take the fall is yourself. The line is crossed when you bring other people into it whom are just trying to live their lives. Grow up.
