    Driver license? I don’t have one, I use my health care card. Which, yeah, is just as sensical ;)

    Massachusetts has liquor license IDs.

      LOL, we can just as easily get a plain citizen ID, non-driver ID, which is just as legit as proof of ID. But by far and wide, most people get a driver’s licence, even if they have no clue how to drive…

      You can’t get both types of ID at the same time though.

      But a specific liquor license? That actually makes more sense really. Does that apply for beer as well?

      But… Healthcare card? Damn! 😂🤣

        Yes beer as well. Massachusetts is incredibly anal about IDing. If you’re from out of state you better have a passport, even for American citizens.

          Wait wait wait wait, holup…

          You gotta have a passport to visit your state? Like, my verified RealID license card isn’t enough?

          If that’s the case, then what in the literal fuck? Is Massachusetts even part of the USA anymore?

            You don’t need to a passport to visit Massachusetts. Also, not my state.

            Here are the valid IDs to purchase alcohol in the state:

            1. Massachusetts Driver’s License;
            2. Massachusetts Liquor Identification Card;
            3. Massachusetts Identification Card;
            4. Passport issued by the United States or a government that is officially recognized by the United States;
            5. Passport Card for a Passport issued by the United States;
            6. United States Military Identification Card;

            My information though was slightly dated… And since April of 2025:

            1. Valid Driver’s License issued by another state; and
            2. Global Entry Card issued by United States Customs and Border Protection

            Before April of last year, out of state driver’s licenses were not a valid ID to purchase alcohol in the state of Massachusetts.

          I have absolutely no problem showing my ID if I want to purchase beer (most around my area already know me and don’t bother checking my ID, but still…)

          The irony isn’t that they check ID, it’s the type of ID they expect, like 95% of the time it’s the customer’s driver license…
