Teenage TikTok users are dressing up as face mask-wearing senior citizens to buy alcohol without being asked for ID in a new viral trend. Videos show American teens putting powder in their hair and changing their clothes to make themselves appear older before heading out to the liquor store with friends. Taking advantage of the current coronavirus crisis, the shoppers add a face mask to reduce the amount of youthful-looking skin on show. To make herself look even older, she wears a senior citizen costume mask with attached hair that covers her entire face. It is not known whether any teenagers in the UK, where the legal drinking age is 18, have tried the trend.
