but did they really accept your marticula before?
by any chance does anyone know if supermarkets or if liquor stores in southern cali especially around the san fernando valley accept marticulas or passports to buy alcohol?

What neighborhood do you live in? You probably will not have much luck with Sav-On, Albertsons, Ralphs,Vons. I have done it at Costco though.

Obsolete is right on. It's SO CAL....or SFV haha what store hasn't run into people with Matriculas or Passports. But like he said, you will have no issues at the hispanic stores. That being said, I've had no issues at Stater Bros, Ralphs or CVS Pharmacy. Don't go in there looking like a total goof and when they ask for ID, just pull it out with confidence. Depending on the store (Staters has started doing this), the regular cashier has to take it to a manager to get it "verified" (idk why, its not like they can see any diff info than you can), but if you're over 21, you're golden. And don't forget to smile and be polite!
