4. That's the worst part of going to the beer store when you get old enough
Edited on Tue May-16-06 01:24 PM by JVS
is the realization that they didn't even suspect you might not be old enough!

Oh the lost opportunities.

8. Sucks, dunnit?
On my 21st, I went to three liquor stores trying to get carded. Didn't happen. x(

At the third one, I finally blurted, "Aren't you gonna ask for my ID?" The guy said, "You act 21."

Oh.

14. LOL
That's too funny! I might get carded at the liquor store, since they have never seen me. Who knows, though! Where I bought the wine coolers last night, they see my face nearly everyday. :sigh:

18. It gets better, though
Like when you're 35 and you get carded. That happened to me once. :D

26. Lol. She's a good lookin lady
I can only hope I look as good as she does when I'm her age. Popping out a couple kids didn't hurt her at all!

10. I've never been carded either.
Not when I was under 18, not since I've been "of age".

13. I was shocked
And a little upset! Lol. Maybe I just look older? I have a buddy who told me that at most stores, the guy/gal behind the counter doesn't decide to card you by what age you look (unless you are obviously young) but by the way you set the alcohol down and the way you carry yourself. I guess he must have been right

20. 21 in the US?
It was 18 here, though we found a club that would cater to us at 16.

I thought it was 19...at least I'm sure it was when I was in NY, and about 3 months shy of that birthday...they wouldn't let us in to one club - we were ugly Canadians that day, that's for sure...;-) (so we ended up at a washed up Studio 54, which DIDN'T card us)

22. Regan blackmailed states:no federal hwy. $ unless age raised to 21 from 18
So, one can vote, get married, run for office and join the armed services but one can not drink. :(

Edited on Tue May-16-06 09:58 PM by Iniquitous Bunny
I'm 34 and it's still about 25% of the time. :woohoo:

I've seen your pic. You should definitely get carded. No oldness there.
