On the morning of Lancer Day, senior Nancy Davis* pulled out her new fake ID at the liquor store register, ready to pay for her 24-pack of Michelob Ultras. She wasn’t nervous. After all, over 30 of her friends had fake IDs, and they had already figured out which places cared and which didn’t. At this store, as long as the code on her fake would scan properly, she was all set.

“There’s only a couple places that would call the police, but even QuikTrip doesn’t call,” Davis said. “They’re just like ‘get out’ and they’ll take your ID. So you just have to be careful about where you go.”

Possession of a fake ID in Kansas is a Class B nonperson misdemeanor, with a punishment of at least 100 public service hours and a fine of $200-500. But according to Davis, the social pressure to buy alcohol at East encourages students to get fake IDs, ignoring the possible legal repercussions.

“[Fake IDs] have gotten very normalized,” Davis said. “My sister didn’t get a fake ID until college, but every grade at East I feel just grows up sooner and sooner. People don’t really think about the repercussions when everybody around you has one.”
