Underage student uses Pokemon card to enter bar and order beer

A student at the University of Georgia claims to have been using a Charizard Pokemon card to get into bars and grab a beer while underage.

For those who don’t know what a Charizard Pokemon card is, it is one of the most prestigious out of any of the pocket monster collectibles.

And as it appears, it has the ability to grant younger students access to bars - perhaps due to the busy, text-heavy nature of the card.
