Question:

if you try to buy beer, but don't use a fake id and never say you're 21 can you still get in trouble? if you just walked into a store, get carded, and left, can you still get charged?



Answer:

It may be helpful to look at Arizona Revised Statutes 4-241(l) - (n)

L. A person who is under the legal drinking age and who misrepresents the person's age to any person by means of a written instrument of identification with the intent to induce a person to sell, serve, give or furnish spirituous liquor contrary to law is guilty of a class 1 misdemeanor.

M. A person who is under the legal drinking age and who solicits another person to purchase, sell, give, serve or furnish spirituous liquor contrary to law is guilty of a class 3 misdemeanor.

N. A person who is under the legal drinking age and who uses a fraudulent or false written instrument of identification or identification of another person or uses a valid license or identification of another person to gain access to a licensed establishment is guilty of a class 1 misdemeanor.

sounds like if you don't misrepresent yourself you are not committing the crime the person selling is. ignorant as it may seem. if this is true and you do buy and do not let the seller know you are a minor and you get away with it and the seller gets busted the company he works for could lose their license and the seller could be fined. Of, course you to would be subject to underage consumption if caught drinking
