In some countries Why is it necessary to have a driving licence to buy alcohol when you can't drink and drive?
Answers
Answer:
You don’t need a driver’s license to buy alcohol, you need proper ID that shows your age to be over 21 - in the US. At least this is the law.
That some establishments (in the US) won’t accept vertical IDs is because vertical IDs often indicate that the holder is under 21. Some states have been using vertical IDs to make it easier for places that serve alcohol to see that the ID holder is not of legal age. Unfortunately, vertical IDs are also used to indicated that the holder doesn’t have a driver’s license and that the card is a n ID only.
If you have a passport, use that. Though, sometimes, people in the US particularly, have never seen a passport and don’t know what one looks like and might reject that as well.
The alcohol server, in the US, is responsible for not serving alcohol to a minor. The server can be fined, lose their license to serve, lose their job and could even go to jail for serving alcohol to an underage person. Their employer could lose their license to serve alcohol. Is it any wonder that the server will only accept an ID that looks correct?
I suspect that these idea may change as more and more young people don’t get driver’s licenses. For the time being, however, you may have to find a different acceptable ID if your particular establishment won’t serve you and you are, indeed, 21.

Having too much to drink also slows your reaction time and makes it difficult for your brain to process information. When all of these factors come into play, it makes for one dangerous and distracted driver. When you aren't able to pay attention to the cars around you, you're more likely to get into a car accident.
Reaction Time – Alcohol can slow reflexes, which can decrease the ability to react swiftly to changing situations. Vision – Alcohol can slow eye muscle function, alter eye movement, and alter visual perception, possibly resulting in blurred vision. Night vision and color perception also can be impaired.
