My brother, who is a fireman, got a DWI which he is currently fighting in court. Until its resolved he has lost his license, so he carries an expired one for ID. We were going to a bar to watch a Mavericks game in the middle of the day and he was carded (he's 31). The man says "sorry but this license is expired". My brother responded with "I don't have to have a license to drink a beer I just have to be 21."

"Sorry man, can't do it."

Now thats how ridiculous the TABC is and how much fear they put on restaurants. Of course if your a hot 19 year old girl I am sure they will find a way to get you in.

Yep. A friend of mine is a bartender, and he told me the same thing last week. An expired driver's license (technically, even an out-of-state license) is not a valid ID to authorize the purchase and consumption of alcohol in Texas.

Ugh.

That sounds SO not Texan!

Where's the wild west???
