I may be wrong but I think they are referring to the insurance ID that Canadians have as a result of the gov't health insurance program.A private insurance card is legal ID for alcohol purchase?

Well, there is probably a way around that in that they could require the real identification up front and it is scanned and associated with your band and displayed upon checkout. I'm sure too, with Disney's pull, they could work something out if they really wanted to. Just not sure there is really a need.![]()
Absolutely! My comment was only that Disney has an awful lot of pull in that state so I could see them partnering to come up with something and/or alter a law slightly. Wouldn't be the first time. LOLI think it would be great if they could - but the reality is they don't control the decision. It's the state and counties that do. Disney could chose to risk not having a firm defendable position (think.. the bar that doesn't card you) - but more and more companies are err'ing to the side of 100% check to ensure they don't expose themselves to the wrath of ABC and the law.

There will be no chance of me being asked my age.
Apparently so. We never carry our passports since the current Mrs Sak had hers half inched at the MK years ago.I've always carried my passport around when travelling in the US, I have no problem with that. Am I right in thinking I can now carry around a photocopy instead?

Not to mention DRAM Shop liability.Bottom line is the ID requirements are state law. In the state of Florida, one must have a valid ID on them at all times. Magic Bands are not valid photo ID's no matter how much pull Disney has.
As a bartender, I can be fined, go to jail, and/or be prohibited from working in or owning a bar in Florida if I am caught serving a minor or not checking for proper id. So, no matter how much you spend on you vacation or if you think you don't need to carry certain identification, don't plan on risking my job or the liquor license of my establishment because of it. It is the law.
If you want to pay me $70,000 a year not to work, I will gladly serve you a drink without a valid ID.
If the Insurance card is government issued, then it would work ....if it is issued by a private company then it would NOT work.
The key phrase here is "Government Issued".
A private insurance card is legal ID for alcohol purchase?
It is still not acceptable for booze here in the US...sorry.Not a private insurance lol.. Everyone is covered in Canada for health care. We all have a health care card issued by our provinces (states)... Legal form of official government id in Canada. Yes we can walk into a hospital and walk out and never get billed for anything. But we do have to wait 1 to 15 hours to get seen by a doctor..

Did you catch the little ?
Because of federal booze laws...that's why.But why not if they say Government issue id. It is
I'd be curious to find out exactly who issues theses Canadian Insurance cards. That might explain why they are not considered a "Legal" form of ID.Because of federal booze laws...that's why.

Well...there you go.In Ontario, government issued health cards are not an acceptable form of ID for age verification. Many places will let folks use them anyway, as the newer editions have birth dates and pictures on them, but they aren't actually supposed to and they aren't required to.
