As someone who's done this professionally[1], the business should have a list of accepted ID forms and make this clear to everyone involved.
ID I've accepted: drivers' licenses, state IDs, passports, military ID cards.
ID I've declined: grossly expired licenses, other people's drivers' licenses, library cards, high school ID cards, drunk tank booking paperwork, a state ID which had been mostly eaten by a dog, and one out-of-state jail ID card.
[1] I never cared WHO was in the store, just that they were of legal age to purchase whatever they were getting.
