Underage.

[PaulMacC]

I'm 17, albeit I look 15 but around this time of year people in my school year start to turn 18, unfortunately I dont turn 18 until May which is an annoyance. Sometimes I can get into bars without ID although it is 50/50 for me, well it has been with past experiences. Any idea or does anyone have tips in a similar situation. I dont have any family members older or around the same age as me which sucks too.

I would suggest trying to stick with groups of people who look older, if you are with them and someone is unsure about letting you in they can back you up by saying you are the same age and they wouldn't of let you come out with them if you were not. It's quite hard for a young man to make himself look older, girls can simply slap a load of makeup on, do their hair, wear high heals etc and they can add years onto themselves. I wouldn't worry too much though as you are approaching 18 so you'll simply be able to show your ID soon.

Yeah, as above, stick with groups of people who are/look older, and this should cause you to seem more likely to be old enough to drink.

You could always get a fake ID until you're actually 18, but I wouldn't recommend that, nor would there be much point now.

I can understand that having older siblings over 20 who still get ID'd.

If you want to be getting into the clubs then your best chances are the quieter clubs, they will be much more lenient with who they let in as they will want the money. If the club is thriving they'd just rather not take the risk.

also; once the novelty of clubs wears off (and it will), pubs are much more mellow and far far far easier to get into.
