Hi,
I'm going to Boston and New York this summer with 2 friends which will be great i'm sure. Only problem is, they're both over 21, but i'm only 20.
I'd like to know exactly that will mean when we want to go out to bars. Obviously, I know the drinking age is 21 everywhere in the US, but:
- Do most/all bars allow under 21's in before a certain time, and if so how difficult is it to stay in without getting caught? lol
- Do bouncers ALWAYS check for ID or could there be opportunities to walk in without being stopped?
- If I managed to get into a bar, how easy of difficult is it to be served alcohol. Baring in mind I don't look THAT young, but not much older thaan 20 either.
Basically, I just want to know if being 20 will cause problems. To be honest, I don't mind too much if I can't drink alcohol in the bars (I can do that in the hotel), but i'd like to at least be able to actually get into the places with my friends.
Or, are there alternative places we could go at night with no problems?
Thanks in advance!
