Recently, a group of wrestlers from a local high school came into the bar and, while wearing their letterman's jackets, one ordered a beer and handed me an ID of a 23 year-old, bearded and what appeared to be older brother or cousin. My advice on this, just don't do it.
Under Ohio law, serving alcohol to a minor is a first-degree misdemeanor, the maximum penalty is six months in prison and/or $1,000 fine. Possession or display of a fake ID is also a first-degree misdemeanor and may result in a maximum fine of $1,000 and/or six months in prison with a minimum fine of $250.
At The Ohio State University a student may be suspended if caught for underage consumption.
Even though people may get upset when checking IDs, it is in fact a law. I don't understand why people would ever give anyone hassle about checking an ID.
