Summary
England and Wales are rolling out digital ID for alcohol purchases—no more fumbling with physical cards or sharing personal details. Using apps like Yoti, you’ll authenticate via face scan or code to generate a 30-second QR code scanned by staff. It’s safer, more convenient, and works offline—perfect for pubs, shops, festivals, and concerts. Physical IDs still count, but businesses are encouraged to adopt this tech, which could soon expand to tobacco and vapes. The hospitality sector is on board, seeing it as a smoother, more flexible experience for everyone. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
