I GOT CARDED AT 43! - What Age Were You The Last Time You Were Asked For Liquor ID?
Self | 8/21/05

Posted on 08/21/2005 6:30:06 PM PDT by linkinpunk

I was out with friends last night. Everyone at the table was late 30's, early 40's. I was the oldest at 43.

We ordered drinks and the waitress asked for my ID. She was very embarassed when she saw my 1962 birthday.

But I have been a good mood since.

At what age were you last asked for ID when purchasing liquor?

I get carded 90% of the time at 34 and I have a noticable white patch above my forehead!

35 and I still get carded. I've been told I look 27/28. Doesn't bother me to get carded.

I got carded less when I was in my 20's then I do now. Go figure.

My dad was carded last year and he's in his mid-sixties. The grocery store said it was "policy". They have to card EVERYONE. Needless to say he wasn't happy with their "policy".

Kind of funny though...my dad getting carded.

Probably in this year (and I really do look 50 - will be 51 in 2 days). Some places have the register set so the cashier has to enter a birthdate to sell the item).

My wife showed up for lunch in bar after I got there. I put the manager up to carding her and her lady friend. They were both in their early forties at the time. They really enjoyed it, dutifully presented their drives licenses.

They then walked over to we husbands with really smug grins, like you guys just don't appreciate us.

We never told them the truth. However, being 13 years older than my wife, she is always a young chick to me!

I wasn't carded but weighed at a Burger king last week. The cashier said they couldn't serve me a Whopper if I weighed too much. I pointed to a fat kid with sauce dripping down his chin and said you served him. The clerk said they were waiting on the cops to come take him to juvie because he used a skinny guy to buy him a burger. He said it was a mess around there now because all the skinny homeless guys hang around trying to make booze money by buying fat people illicit hamburgers and fries.

Was last carded at age 26 (am north of 40 now). But then, I don't buy a lot of booze.
