I'm not entirely sure I know what you mean. Do you mean can they ask other people around if they know how old you are? And, is that sufficient in lieu of a driver's license? If that is your question, then the answer is, in FL, the person purchasing alcohol must have state issued ID no matter how old they are. I suspect other states would also require state issued ID to purchase alcohol.
