In fact, for Mark, his original intention to collect fake IDs from all 50 states is not just to use these IDs to buy drinks. He said that this will enrich his lifestyle. If the Chicago museum offers half-price tickets for state residents, he manages to use his fake Illinois ID. If the Bronx Zoo launches a similar promotion, he will get a promotion in New York. Of course, there are more uses, and sometimes it can be conveniently used in the face of chance.

But in the final analysis: I asked Mark how his fake ID could help him make romantic dates, and it is no exaggeration to say that this is the motivation for all young men to buy them. MARK seemed very honest. He said: “I really don’t know how to answer this question. I actually have a long-term girlfriend.” He also pointed out that his girlfriend also has a fake ID. Despite this, MARK really likes to go out for dinner with her, because it will make the relationship between the two parties closer. When he hangs out with friends, the same is true: “I often buy them drinks and alcohol, relax with them and stay for a week. I think that using fake IDs can reach more adults in the world, if no fake IDs are used. None of this with ID documents can happen.”
