Liquor ID

Here, in Boston if you go to a restaurant or a pub you need to show your ID. Legal drinking age is 21 in Massachusetts (All states were mandated to raise drinking age in 1986 in the US). If your age under this limit you aren't supposed to walk in these kind of places. People generally use driver's license to identify themselves. But I have no Massachusetts driver's license and so I have to use my passport to identify myself.

Liquor means a kind of alcoholic beverage but it also means any drinkable liquid. So it is a general name for drinkings so you can drink any beverage thanks to your liquor ID card:)

Last Thursday (7/11/2012), I went to Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) to get Liquor ID card. It looks similar to drivers’ licenses. I paid $25 and was taken picture there for ID. That was my first experience in a government office, here. 

They will send the ID card to my mail address in three weeks. So, I will not need to carry my passport with me in future.

By the way, I got confused about the "mail address" when I came here, because we use "mail address" just for "email address" and we say "post address" for regular address in Turkish. So when someone said "mail address" I thought he or she mentioned my email address:) Then I learnt to think in English about "address" 

Anyway, when I receive my Liquor ID, I can change this picture I found from internet with my ID card. But I am not sure whether I should change and add my ID or not:)
