Under 21 for NYC Training - What should I do?

Hi all,

I’ll be under 21 when doing training this summer for my BB/EB in NYC before joining my office in London. I understand that a good part of ‘training’ is training your liver in the various bars and clubs in NYC.

I am wondering if I should/shouldn’t get a fake ID for training. I am a 6’2+ male with a beard and people often overestimate my age (ie not getting asked for ID since 15~ when buying alcohol in Europe but it’s surely different in the US). Also if anyone has any recommendations on where to get one that works in the US :)

I obviously don’t want to get caught stupidly with a fake ID but missing out on all the fun would suck. The alternative would be to go visit other cities on the East coast for weekends on my own (Boston/DC/Philadelphia).

Cheers!
