Drinking culture is definitely a norm when it comes to college life. It honestly seems like having a fake ID is more normal than having an actual ID. Most of my friends could show me a stack of about three they switched between and where each worked. It can get really frustrating being the friend who doesn't want to drop more money than you can afford on something that'll probably get confiscated. What's it like to not have a fake? The Jersey Shore cast can help explain.

You're probably the one in the group who drinks the most and loves house party festivities.

When you convince everyone to drink with you, your friends eventually get the idea to go to their favorite bar and leave you ID-less at home.

But you try to make them drink more with you to distract them from the bar idea.

But they still want to leave and you try to play pity card.

Until they convince you to try going out because the place never IDs, but you clearly look too young to be there so the bouncer calls you out.

You end up sobering up and having to take care of drunk friends when they come home from the bar.

But they don't understand bond you make with others who don't have a fake because they'll always house drink with you.

Then the day you turn 21 and can go out finally comes after an eternity.

You end up being the one who gets the most excited to go out once you're 21, but that's okay because they already had their time when they had a fake.
