<p>What’s up with Boston and fake ID’s? Are they really strict about them? I’m sure that fake ID’s are everywhere considering how Boston is such a big college city. Personally, I use my brother’s ID since we practically are identical and I’ve never had a problem in California… or in Boston (used it at bars/restaurants a few times when visiting). But does anyone have anything to add…?</p>
<p>we're gonna have to hang out at bu...hehe :)</p>
<p>yea..i use my cousins ID which is a real license and it works everywhere..but i heard they are pretty strict on actual fake id's..</p>
<p>If you get caught, there are serious ramifications, including loosing your own state drivers license, according to officer DelLuca, which you saw at orientation. The reason they are so strict is because fakes ARE everywhere. Tons of people have them, and with them, it is so easy to buy anything, if you know where to go.</p>
<p>Boston is known for having tough laws related to fake IDs. And yet, drinking is everywhere and all the Boston area schools' students seem to be able to find ways to get around things. Looks like at BU, like any college, the upper classmen pass on their wisdom for where to go.</p>
