Why do people of a legal age go into off-licences for scummers? When you see the result of youth drinking in the papers nearly every week I just don't see how anyone can unleash these idiots on society fuelled by booze mixed with whatever else!

It happened again yesterday and the brave souls tried to start a fight when I said No. "Wot d'ya mean no, ye f**kin' tick?!?!". I just laughed in his face while his mates puffed up their chests and went on my way. I guess I could see how some could be intimidated into going in for them but I'd rather take a hiding from 10 than do it personally.

I think your 2nd paragraph answered the question in the 1st.

When I was young at least we said "please" when we asked older people to buy us drink.

Superbus

I was asked to buy drink AND cigarettes the other day.

I'm 16.

Tell them you will if they stroke your clover in return.

We went drinking in fields and got older people (generally the polish) to buy us drink and never caused any problems.


When I just turned 18 I was returning the favor. Some younger girls asked me to buy drink (always point blank refused to buy spirits) and they were asking "is dutch gold good is it?".

Needless to say they never got anything and I haven't done it since.

thebostoncrab

I always say the same thing, "Go in yourself, if you're old enough to get served you're old enough to drink."

When I was 16 me and my mates would always chance our arm, you'd eventually find an offie that wouldn't ID you.

Faolchu

say ok take their money and run

mikemac

It wasn't me but there was a story put on boards by some poster

"Ger us a few cans there buddy" and he was given €20
Came back out with bag full of cans.....20 cans of Pepsi. 1 euro each

What did you guys do for fake ID?

I photocopied my passport, changed the month and printed it out with a black and white printer. Said that I had just turned 18, awaiting Garda ID and don't want to carry my passport around and it actually worked a few times.

Then when I got my drivers license I just chanced my arm even though it said I was 17. In a Centra the girl working behind the till was more interested in trying to move out my photo as she thought it was fake instead of just looking at the date :rolleyes:

I was the same, but I dont think thats possible anymore. I get IDed almost every time now at the age of 23, whereas when I was 16/17 didn't have a problem at all getting served without being questioned. Shops are terrified of getting caught out now.

The first part of it - taking money off them to buy drink is fine. I support this.
Actually buying the drink is pointless. Also it promotes underage drinking.

When you're passing them by after don't laugh or anything. There's no need to be a prick about it.

Why do they do it? Because they were scummers once too silly.

24 now and if I shave the beard I get IDed, I see your point!

Twas easier in our days!

Simply tell them that by drinking they become a scourge on society just like their mothers who, if kept their legs closed when not drunk probably wouldn’t have given birth to such undesirables.

Happened me a few months ago. Initially said no, and they started to hurl the usual abuse at me. So decided '**** that'. Turned around and said "go on so, give me the money".

Retarded scobes gave me the bones of €50 to buy them vodka. Went in and bought myself 3 bottles of wine and some pringles and fags (I don't even smoke).

Came outside. Sparked up a fag, took a few drags. Just as the head scobe was realising that the stuff in the bag was not what they wanted I flicked the fag into his face and walked on, throwing the ol fake out punch as I walked passed another one of em. Nearly shat his pants I'd say, looked like he was about to start crying.

:cool:

That didn't really happen, did it?

wild_cat

Happened my brother but with smokes.

He point blank refused to buy them for two lads in school uniform clearly on the hop. They start shouting a torrent of abuse at him and my brother just walks into the shop leaving the two lads outside.

On exiting he notices the two young lads getting into the back of a car with a man who's telling them that they'll be going straight into the office when they get back up to the school.

As they drive off they stare glumly at my brother whos just standing there with a massive smile on his face waving them off on their journey.

This.

I'd feel pathetic asking strangers to buy drink for me. Trying to get served's part of the fun!

It happened my brother recently. He came home from work at about 10pm, discovered he was out of milk and had to run out to the local Spar. He just threw a big jacket on over his clothes and was going into the shop when a couple of young lads (about 15) asked him if he'd get them drink and fags. He just said "No" and kept going, and they started hassling him. He opened his coat and they ran. He's a guard and had the uniform on! :P

Numina

I read a technique here a good while ago.

If they give you the money as a 20 or 50 euro note, go in but don't buy anything, instead pocket the money and come back out to them and tell them "the person at the till checked the note and it turned out to be counterfeit, sorry lads." and walk off with their money.

There gonna get it anyways so sayign no is useless other tahn to protect yourself from the law.

I asked when younger but was polite about it.

"Sorry, Would you mind gettign us a few drinks inside?" with puppy dog eyes.

...I just remembered the best excuse i used ever.....now i was a kid so please forgive it...I went into the Office license and tried to get the drink, she said no and then i said If i dont arrive home with it my dad will beat me again!"...she panicked and just gave it to me...i was grinning goign out the door.

Never buy them anything. You also might want to raise the issue with the cashier inside. Whenever I'm asked I simply keep walking and say 'No. I can't do that.'

That's a weak argument in fairness. How could you sleep at night knowing that the lads you bought a rake of drink for the night before ended up stabbing someone or killing themselves in a stolen car?

That's gotta sting for a few weeks!

It did actually. I'm 6.2", and work out nearly everyday, so have a decent build on me. I also grew up in a pretty bad part of Limerick. But thankfully, my folks wanted better for me than those that I was surrounded by.

I'm used to dealing with scum on a daily basis and know exactly how to intimidate them. It's almost like I'm playing a character when I'm dealling with scobes. I'm as gentle as a kitten in reality.

They're all cowards at the end of the day.

Note: I'm not trying to come across as full of my self or anything like that. These are just the facts.

hatrickpatrick

I love the way so many in this topic are firstly condemning underage drinking, and then subsequently talking about how they managed to get drink when they were underage.

Oh the irony.

Feckin' hypocrites, the lot of ya. And THAT'S why some people buy the drink for them - they have principles.

Exact same story as myself.

Can these people not send the help out to fetch it? Honestly!

PeterIanStaker

Friend of mine was asked by underage scrotes to buy drink, the pub in question had an offy on the premises as well as front and back doors.

So, she takes their cash, goes in the front door and out the back, and had a good night. This was ages ago so it was pounds, real money.

yea id say ya did allright they would kick the **** out of ya if ya did that especially if there was a gang of them iv seen it happen and you werent much better taking their money and spending it on yourself

I was working in a shop and a girl came in and tried to buy smokes. She looked 13. I said no. She left, another one came in, asked for smokes. I went and got the smokes and and "oh and can I see your ID". She said she'd left it in her 'car'. I said I couldn't sell them to her. She kicked up a bit of a fuss and then left. Her mates didn't even have the cop on to wait around the corner, the two that had come in + a few other 13 yo looking girls were standing right by the door, basically at the window at the end of the counter I was standing at. Then they started asking people that were coming into the shop. I leaned out the window and said "Here, I can see yous asking people to buy smokes, you're not going to get any from this shop, no matter who comes in and asks". They clearly went around the corner and kept asking people. They kept being refused. Finally they went up to a guy who was changing a tyre on his car, and asked him, very politely and innocently, if he'd PLEASE buy them some smokes. Said the girl in the shop wouldn't serve them.

The guy says "She wouldn't serve you? Well she better not have because I own that shop!". It was my boss, can seem a pretty big intimidating guy when he wants to be! They ran like there was no tomorrow. Both I and everyone who had seen it was in fits of laughter.
