I find this hard to believe because around here if we are in a big group some drinking and some not, even if the people who are not drinking have a bag with any alcohol in they will still take it off you.

probably because you're with people who have been drinking and they'll think you'll supply? if you're on your own, not drinking, it's sealed, they can't take off of you.

They cant do anything unless you are drinking it in public. Arent you allowed to drink U18 as long as you are in a home?

Never let them find your fake ID, you'll get that taken away fo' sho' + they'll contact whoever the ID belongs to and they'll get hassled for it.
