I'm having difficulty understanding how a 19-year-old college student doesn't understand the difference between "theoretically" and "hypothetically".
And how does being downtown make any difference here? Do you think things would go any differently if you were at a bar in the 'burbs or a roadhouse in the countryside?
You just reminded me of an old BT commercial.
(Search "Maureen Lipman ology" on YouTube to see what I'm talking about ;) - maybe a "tically" is kind of like an "ology" )

Whenever a police officer requests to see your ID, especially if they have reasonable suspicion for any criminal activity (like underage drinking), you are required to produce your correct, legal ID. Refusing could result in a charge for obstruction and if you do not produce an ID or enough information to accurately ID you, a trip to jail is likely for further investigation into who you are.
That's not true in all states, and could really be true in - at last count - no more than 18 (including the OP's of NY), depending on the circumstances.
However, given that this is inside a bar, there are other potential theories that might apply - especially if the bar checks IDs at the door. But, in this hypothetical, WHY would the bar suddenly get raided?! Unless he intends to attend a bar where they are soliciting paid sex acts, or doing dope on the tabletops, I doubt the cops would raid the place like it was a speakeasy of a bygone era. Though, the police might do occasional ID checks inside a bar, and in such an instance, he may be required to present his ID to show he is 21 or older.
