IronTiger Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 My brother is coming over for Spring Break, and I thought during that time, I could make a tirasimu from a recipe I have. Problem: it requires vodka, not a lot, but some. But as you may know, I'm under 21 (but not by a lot), and even though the liquor store is not that far from the local H-E-B, I can't go into Spec's, much less buy anything. The solution is to get my brother, who is about 25, to go with me, but even accompanied by him, is it legal for me for even enter the store?Doesn't the Texas liquor store law allow for someone over 25 to bring someone under 21 into a liquor store? Or is that other states? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skwatra Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I think if you are under 21, the person accompanying you has to be a parent or guardian. you'd probably be ok walking in, but depending on the cashier they may check all IDs then refuse to sell to your brother.

Fringe Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Go to Cosco. It's cheaper then Specs. You don't have to be a member to enter their liquor store and I doubt if anyone would question if you accompanied your brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejack Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Most places are going to try to card everyone when you try to check out. Just let your bro do the actual buying without you standing there. And stop telling us tiramisu lies, you nefarious college student Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Don't I seem to remember a phrase that went something like "contributing to the delinquency of a minor" and fine / jail time accompanying it????? Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeebus Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Are you wanting to accompany him to point out the correct brand? If so, just look it up on line and show him a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonfella Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Liquor laws are totally bizarre. Not only here, but in other states as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbigtex56 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Liquor laws are totally bizarre. Not only here, but in other states as well.Jeez. I remember going to Michigan in the '70s. The liquor stores were more like banks. Everything was behind the counter and something like a withdrawal slip had to be filled out and handed, through a window, to a clerk.
