Hello, Sue. At this time the following forms of ID are acceptable.

* State Driver’s License

* State I.D. Card

* Temporary Department of Corrections State ID

* U.S. Military I.D. card

* Passport ( U.S. or Canada)

* Tarjeta Electoral De Puerto Rico/ Puerto Rico Voter Registration Card

* Tribal I.D. Car

Bought alcohol in Walmart, Publix, restaurants and Disney and not asked for ID at any time (with or without children with me).

Only comment made once in Walmart was when my eldest daughter tried to help load the shopping bags into the trolley, she picked up a bag which had a bottle of wine in and the lady on the checkout told her off as it had alcohol in.

In 2016 they wouldnt serve dh because my dd14 was with him and ds20, they asked my daughter for id. She didnt have it, she dosent drink, had no intention of drinking! She is now 16 and wont touch a drop still, we went to another walmart and I waited outside with them.

We had that a couple of days ago with my DD, you would have thought she had produced a gun or something the way the cashier reacted.

We had this happen to us in a gas station in upstate New York. British ID was unacceptable.

Americans are so uptight about alcohol and have a massive alcohol problem. The forbidden is always attractive!

Just returned from Walmart at Cagans Crossing with 2 bottles of wine and a case of Coors lite
Never got asked for any ID and haven't been asked for the last 3 weeks

CVS must be rubbing their hands... unless they decide to follow suit.

I checked with my friend who works at CVS (in Florida) , they have the same policy according to her.
I have a theory that the authorisation software all the big stores was "upgraded" and there was a big screw up as it removed the option of manually checking less popular forms of ID.
