Kind of seems like reaching the point where counterfeiters could make fakes as good as the official ones was only a matter of time. The solution probably isn't just making them more difficult to copy. You'd probably need to tie it to a digital identity provider.

Although honestly I think "just make our drinking age more in line with what Europe does" would solve a lot of this.

The whole reason it’s 21 is MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving), and it’s tied to federal highway funding. So, to amend it, along with lowering the drinking age, they should raise the driving age to 18. They have the highest accident and fatality rate already. Might as well allow legal adults to do legal adult things, like drinking, or driving in a way that could kill somebody.
