I know Jeff said in a JeffChat before 3A that alcohol doesn't effect werewolves (likely because they'd metabolize it too quickly for it to make a difference). So the only reason the fake ID would be required is likely for the reason Paul cited. But honestly... it would clear up a lot of confusion if they'd just slip it in there. It'd also get the people who lob pedophilia accusations at Kate to shut up.

I think a lot of this confusion is caused by the book, which isn't canon and was rather irresponsibile, in my opinion. You can't flesh out a major character's backstory that much in a book that is released by MTV, and then say that none of it is actual canon.
