You cannot buy alcohol in Massachusetts with an out of state drivers license

Say what you want about Louisiana but we don't have the crazy laws of some of the blue states.

What is the Reason for This Massachusetts Law?
The reason behind this law is that if liquor stores, bars, etc. were to sell alcohol to an individual with an out-of-state driver's license (and some do at their own risk) and that license turned out to be fake, the retailer would be held liable for the violation of service to a minor even if that person’s out of state driver’s license looked real and passed through a scanner designed to spot fake ID’s. This is according to Connell Law Offices and you can read more about this by going here.

I guess that might be the law but I've never been turned away using my Rhode Island ID.
Gotta good Rhode Island one tho... restaurants arent allowed to give you a straw with a drink unless the customer specifically asks. Annoying AF

I actually had this happen to me in Texas years ago with My La License.
It wasn't a state law but some of those C-Note stores in Collin County didn't sell beer to us with La Licenses.

I’m in mass regularly; this isn’t enforced anywhere I’ve ever been

This state is kinda funny. When I first moved here I wanted to buy beer at a gas station, but in Ma they don’t sell em in gas stations
Posted on 4/4/24 at 1:19 pm to secfballfan
Won't be going there. Ever.

I had this happen to me twice in Texas 20yrs ago. I was turned down liquor sales in a grocery store and at a liquor store.

Licenses are issued by states. But a passport is issued by the federal government. I wonder what the legal implications would be (if any) for not accepting another state's ID and for not accepting a federal ID like a passport. Could one claim discrimination if they didnt' take another state ID or a federal ID? Interesting topic.

I've never been to MA, but i can tell you this is a completely false statement. You're telling me that it is illegal for a brewery or bar to sell someone beer if they have an out of state license?
