Do drinking age requirements apply to Super Days?

My Super day dinner is a few hours away and Im not sure if regular age requirements apply to the drinks. We are supposed to go to a restaurant in Manhattan which most likely serves drinks. The problem is that Im 19, so I won't be able to show id if the waiter/bartender asks. If I mention that Im underage theres also a possibility that the seniors attending the dinner will perceive me as a wuss for not taking a chance. This is my first Super Day so Im not sure of what could happen.

 

Just order water...

More likely to get dinged for trying to break the law at an interview than possibly being seen as a wuss. In the unlikely event someone asks why you didn't order a drink, just tell them you'd rather not drink in this setting and/or you're underage, they should respect both of those.

The only scenario where I would order a drink is if all the other candidates are ordering drinks and not getting carded, otherwise just play it safe.
