Yes..In my younger stupid days I snitched on the store owner who sold it to a friend of mine, who then gave it to me.
We got pulled over mistakingly and they saw the beer. It was either up to a $500 fine a piece w/ up to 20 hours of community service, or tell them where we got it from..I told them..This was about a week before I left for my freshman year of college..
Now I know of 2 or 3 beer stores where I could go buy it and not get carded..And one of the bars in town I can drink at..It isn't the most popular/best bar, but it suits me.
Around here, as long as you walk confidently to the counter, odds are you can buy it...I still get a little rush when I buy it.
