Question about buying beer?

I was thinking of doing something like that the other day.
Using my government Department Of Defense ID card, instead of my California drivers license.
Nobody is used to seeing one of those, unless your security at the airport. lol :rolleyes:
I tried that to get a keg at a Ralphs back in 1988, they didnt want to take it and I threw a fit telling her I demand to see the manager as this is a F'n Federal ID and I'm in the F'n Marines and I didn't get this haircut for the F of it. People were cheering me on and the lady finally scanned the keg slip and I paid her the money.
