if you buy alcohol and give it to a minor and that minor is later caught, can authorities know who purchased the bottle originally buy scanning the barcode? this is just to settle a bet with a friend

The barcode could not tell the authorities who bought the bottle since the barcode is the same on all the bottles of that exact product. In other words if two were sold the barcode would be the same and it could be one of two people, if five were sold it could be one of five people. The barcode helps the store keep inventory of what they have sold if they use this technology but not to whom they've sold it. The barcode is probably the same barcode for that exact product throughout the entire country. The authorities may tell you they can tell who bought the bottle this way, they cannot though. Tell them, to tell you who bought then they obviously don't need you to tell them anything.

How would that even be possible? Barcodes are read only- information cannot be stored in them. And, the barcode on every bottle of the same type of alcohol is going to read exactly the same. So, no.

Did you use cash or charge. How the hell would they know, the bar code gives the price information. Now if you have a store card that keeps track of your buying information (usually gives you the sales), then that information could be used to send you coupons, get to know what type of customer buys what product. But no, the barcode can't tell who bought what.

It cant,
In simple terms the barcode is like a sentance saying
"I am one bud light 12 oz and I cost 1.99"
or something (I dont drink so I dont know the right numbers)
then the computer scanning it in says ok.
and charges 1.99 plus tax.
The barcode for that exact product is the same almost nationwide
Good luck with the bet

If you buy it using a discount card, I'm sure it could be. But think about this... If you pay cash and don't use a discount card, there is no way of tracing it back.
To answer the question, yes and no. depending on whether you use a credit card to purchase the bottle or not.

No, the bar code is also called a UPC (universal price code) code. It is used to identify inventory in a store. Each product has a a unique code. The code can be scanned at the register to lookup the price and decrease/increase the store's inventory count for purchases and returns.

Absolutely not! This is not what a bar code does. This is an inventory and pricing tool. The bar code does not receive information. It is not a surveillance tool. Bar codes do not record anything, all functions must be inputted into the code. Big- Brother may be watching, but not from the benign bar codes.

no. barcodes are used for product recognition and bookkeeping. (scanning places no info on the barcode). i suppose if the person paid with credit and the cops wanted to be ambitious they could spend a few hours looking through register tape
