Atlanta's Mac's Beer & Wine Adopts Intellicheck's Age ID to Prevent Alcohol Sales to Minors

Mac's Beer & Wine is using a sophisticated technology solution to help prevent the illegal sale of alcohol to minors. The midtown Atlanta, Georgia retailer is using Intellicheck's (NYSE MKT:IDN) Age ID^® to scan bar codes on driver licenses and other forms of identification to spot altered and fake IDs.

Midtown Atlanta's residents include some 32,000 students attending a number of nearby colleges. Store owner Arthur "Mac" Thurston has been on the frontlines of the fight to prevent the sale of alcohol to minors since he went into business 29 years ago. The veteran beverage alcohol retailer called Age ID a powerful tool. "Since we began using Age ID, we've confiscated nearly 100 fake IDs. I'm using Age ID on our registers and smartphones to make sure we stop minors from purchasing alcohol. I'm a father and this is my community, too. I care about our young people and I take my responsibilities, including my legal responsibility to remain compliant with legal purchase age laws, very seriously."

The most recent available statistics show the cost of underage drinking to Georgia is more than $1 billion per year in addition to the needless tragedies from the loss of life and the dramatic health implications that can result from underage drinking.

Dr. William Roof, CEO of Intellicheck, underscored the importance of Age ID as an effective deterrent. "Age ID can be deployed anywhere age-restricted products such as alcoholic beverages and tobacco are sold. It's an easy-to-use, affordable solution to the problem of spotting minors using fake credentials to make illegal alcohol purchases." Dr. Roof noted that the Company expects to make more announcements in the coming months as Age ID is rolled out in establishments selling alcoholic beverages across the country.

Intellicheck's industry leading Age ID identity authentication and validation solution reads the barcode data encoded on driver licenses and government issued IDs, instantly verifying the authenticity of the ID and age information via a mobile device or with an integrated point of sale tool. Age ID draws on a comprehensive database, updated on an ongoing basis, to ensure information is timely and accurate.
