“No, please, ask me for my ID. I need this!”
In my state, you have to ask for everyone’s ID unless they “appear to be over 90.”
Really adds insult to injury here.
Honestly I’m kinda OK with that.
A) the legal drinking age, age of consent, voting age, and age of Draft/ military eligibility should be the same. Whether that’s 21 or 18 or whatever is up for debate, but if you’re old enough to kill people at your country’s behest you should be old enough to decide what goes in your body.
B) Lots of countries are pretty lax about kids drinking small amounts of alcohol, and it doesn’t lead to increased negative outcomes.
Our country was pretty lax about it too until MADD went full power mode in the 90’s.
My state is 35 or under, you look over 35 you don’t have to have an id unless the seller insists but it’s not required.
Now everyone who doesn’t get carded and is below 35 but above the drinking age is offended.
I remember getting out of bed, feeling my lower back was stiff, putting my hand on my hip and kind of stretching with a little groan, and realizing that was something I’d seen my dad do multiple times when I was little.
So either this person has back problems in their twenties or the cashier is asking people in their forties for their id?
I’m 42 and I regularly get carded.
I’m 18 and I don’t? Wtf?
Varies a lot by location.
