Not really. But after graduating from uni and being issued "alumni" card i scratched "alumni" away from my card and kept using it as a regular student card for student discounts available in certain places.
I was gonna use my sisters ex provisional licence to get into this gay club with my friends (one is a gay male, other is bisexual female) but it was such a massive risk. For starters my sister is 27 and I'm 17 and secondly, I look like her but not that much. So I didn't end up going but I turn 18 in May (Thank God, I can't take this anymore!)
If I end up transferring to a college in a bigger city I'll probably get one, but I'd be too scared to try using one in Madison since it's a college town
It's really not hard to find one that's good quality though... Reddit has tons of sellers.
Never needed one. When I was 16 I could legally drink, though they raised the drinking age to 18 when I was 17. So I just got my friends to buy for me. My ID was never checked when entering a club.
