I wasn't a UT student so real, honest question: Is a UT ID an acceptable form of ID to buy alcohol?
- ThA0x2 6y agoIt is not. In Texas, you cannot purchase alcohol with a school ID.
- birken 6y agoBuying alcohol requires an ID with age information, as that is an age check. Voting does not require age information, as you cannot register to vote unless you are the proper age. Just a reputable ID that can match a photograph to a person, for which the UT student IDs are deemed good enough for the security and safety within the UT system. And of course, it's a state run university. If the state really cared about making voting accessible to people with valid IDs, they would update the UT IDs to meet whatever requirements they deemed necessary. They've had 6 years. Why haven't they done it? Students actively want the change.
