ULPT If you're slightly underage and want to drink in bars, join a dart/pool league. Nobody checks the id of the dart team coming in.
At 19 I got myself on a dart league with some guys at work. One of the guys on the team owned our "home" bar and just never asked the people who brought me into the group.
I drank in dozens of bars in the area from 19-21. Had my 21st birthday party at my home bar and the owner got real mad at me. Understandably so I guess.
Just don't make yourself stand out. You can be good or decent but never ever get into any bullshit or have attention drawn to you in a negative way and you're pretty much in the clear.

or just go to Chinatown with an Asian mate, let him do the talking while you wait outside. No one gives a shit about age when dealing with an Asian (preferably Chinese and even more preferably, can speak the language) there. You can get easy drinks or smokes.
Edit: Got drunk several times in Chinatown in the US while I was 16/17-ish
It took me too long to realize you’re British and that you didn’t mean Mate as in Mating.
I mean you can mate with them too but I’m not sure if it would turn out well...
And actually I’m Chinese but I watched too much English TVs so I can’t even help it.
