Aloha,

I can throw in my two cents...

Not sure exactly how the Big Island is, but here on Oahu, every place is very strict. If you are in a tourist area, you will be carded if you look under 30. Many late night spots card everyone, no exception. I had a 40+ year old friend who couldn't get into a bar because he didn't have his ID on him.

Whatever you do, don't go the fake ID route. Way too many possible problems! I hang out at Duke's in Waikiki a lot. There, if a bartender/server is caught serving a minor, or accepting a fake id, he looses his job on the spot, no questions asked. I've seen it happen too many times. Also, if the bar wants to be difficult, they can just call the cops, and then your problems are much worse! At Duke's, to eliminate any chance of serving a minor, they (and some other places) have gone to the one drink per person rule. Every person must be present at time of purchase and each can only get one drink at a time, so its difficult to even try to buy one for someone else.

The Liquor Control Board is also pretty strict. I was just at the Shack in Hawaii Kai last night(more of a local place than tourist), and the LBC came in and did a sweep for under age drinkers.

On a slightly similar note, I know the Big Island is cracking down hard on DUI's, and they have been doing a lot of the late night checkpoints.
