anything with a picture and date on it will do

That will do in the netherlands. How old are you? Theyre not so strict with drinking age restrictions here unless you look like a -16 teenager.

Also, the legal drinking age here is 18. So if youre 21+ and look the part theyll probably never ask you for any ID.

That surprises me to hear. When I visited the Netherlands three years ago, pretty much every place I went insisted on seeing my passport instead whenever I showed my I.D.

I'd guess theyre too stupid to recognize any other form of ID than that. I'd expect this from supermarket cashiers, who are an entirely different level of intellectually inferior.

Where did you go to? Ive worked as a bartender in haarlem for years and never encountered this issue.

that's because he never leaves his basement.

>>1242510
you need a passport... as simple ID cards and foreign drivers licenses all get counterfeited across Europe.. certainly in southern Europe.

Should do you in dublin, dyou look over 18?>>1242761
>pretty much every place I went insisted on seeing my passport instead whenever I showed my I.D.
Was it a drivers license? Or one with photo and a dat of birth?

>>1242510
Why do people who manage to keep up with their wallet and cellphone always believe that they will immediately lose their passport the moment they go out with it?

>>1242510
No way I'd walk around with my passport. Not worth the hassle because unless you look 12 I doubt you'll get ID'd.

>>1242510
Do you look 14 or something OP?
I never got carded once except for VIP club velvet ropes, and that's just show for the police that are watching practices at clubs.
You need ID when you are out, and consider having whatever else you have to back up you don't have a single fake ID, like your college ID, voter's reg, or something else in your wallet. I don't go out with a passport on my person unless it's the hotel safe or securement of my luggage I don't trust. It wouldn't hurt to have a photocopy however.
