Hookah bars and fake IDs have been popular topics in New York University dorms this summer. <\/span><\/p>\n

A hookah bar or lounge is an easy 21-plus establishment to sneak into, according to underaged NYU dormers, \u00a0where patrons can smoke tobacco out of a shared water pipe and order alcoholic drinks.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the NYU PreCollege Program, only 20% of PreCollege students own a fake ID, according to an anonymous informal survey.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are a few different ways of getting a fake ID, including ordering them from websites and online providers like <\/span>www.reallygoodfakes.com<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

From this website, you can buy a fake ID from New York, Minnesota, or Colorado for only $150.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each ID is guaranteed to pass a black light test at bars and nightclubs, have the correct hologram sticker for the state it is from, and a barcode to be scanned at stores, \u201cto the best of their ability,\u201d according to the website\u2019s FAQs page.<\/span><\/p>\n

The website even offers reprint options in case your fake ID is taken from you, which will happen if an establishment recognizes an ID as fake.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bars and nightclubs have gotten very good at recognising fake IDs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFake IDs will be confiscated and the police will be called,\u201d according to a representative at Sahara Citi, a hookah bar on East 13<\/span>th<\/span> Street, \u201cThe police handle it from there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The ID must be handed over to law enforcement within 24 hours, according to New York State \u00a0law.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using a fake name on an ID is considered a misdemeanour but using the real name of another person is a gross misdemeanour and can mean jail time, according to the underage and fake ID laws.<\/span><\/p>\n

The possible charges for underaged possession and consumption would mean a minimum of $150 fine for a first offence.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s $300 that you\u2019ve now wasted and a lot of explaining to do to your parents.<\/span><\/p>\n
