 I have known a few bartenders who had to go thru this.
The sarcasm of this thread aside, that law was changed a few years ago.  Now the police can simply cite the bartender without taking him or her into custody.  BTW, that same law "accidentally" decriminalized underage drinking.  The server can still face charges, but the kid can only get a civil fine (and no criminal record)  From what I've been told, no one on the DC Council will admit that they did this on purpose, but the judges in Superior Court and the Court of Appeals have consistently ruled that underage drinkers are no longer committing a crime.
 
 Using a fake ID or lying about your age?  That's still a crime, though.

yeah they're full of themselves and not that bright-they asked for my id and i said i'm not going to drink stamp me underage....guy gives me a mouthful about how if i buy a drink for anyone i'm being thrown out.  WTF 1. If I'm being stamped under 21 I won't be able to buy drinks period, not for myself or anyone who's underage. If I planned on buying drinks you would've seen my ID.  WTF 2 Do u give that lecture to all of the people who are being stamped over 21?   I'm sure they offer logic classes at UDC.

everyone that is stamped underage is told something along the lines of:  "you may not buy, hold, or drink alcohol or you will be asked to leave."  perhaps you mis-heard them?

This kind of stuff just cracks me up. Why should the club risk losing its liquor license by quietly allowing underage kids to drink? Not only is the penalty a stiff one, but then the club also gets shut down like 30 or 60 days...so just because some idiot wants a drink they have a right to jeapordize the enjoyment of everyone else who frequents the club? Please. Some people need to grow up. It's a business like no others, and there are rules to follow (simple ones at that). If you don't like them, don't do go. It's that easy. And for the record, if some underage kid asked me to buy a beer I'd go and tell the staff. I don't want some loser getting caught by the ABC and then having to go to Nation for every concert I want to see. If that makes me a tattle, then so be it. I'd rather have that happen than have someone spoil the party.

Incidentally, I get the irony...but I've had a bunch of experiences as of late about patroners whining about the whole underage drinking thing. I should have made that clear  :)

David Bowie would let underage teenage girls drink.

Back in the glory days of groupies, Lori Lightning and Sable Starr were totally underage and I think Bowie did 'em both. No surprises there.
