how do i buy from a liquor store?
hi all, i turn 21 in 2 weeks and have never purchased alcohol before. none of my friends are 21 yet so i’ll be heading to the liquor store alone. i guess my question is how do i behave 😭 will they think it’s suspicious if im wandering around trying to orient myself and decide what i want? any other tips? also, my ID will still be valid but wont be renewed to the other orientation that shows i’m 21 - will that be a problem?
ps. if you have any tips for ordering at a bar feel free to include that too :) thanks!
