At what age did you stop being asked for ID when buying alcohol?

When was the last time you were asked to show proof of age for anything?

If you go to the self-scan checkouts in a UK supermarket and you have anything with alcohol in it, like the rum babas I enjoy, they have to come over and check you out. It's funny now. On one occasion I saw the list that the assistant had to tick and they chose to press the button marked, 'it's obvious'!

Still happens. My older kids find it funny. My 20 yr old used my season pass the other day that shows a screen with my pic. I guess it’s a compliment 🤣

I am in my 70's and still get asked. It seems some establishments are keeping track of how much they serve you. They scan your ID when you purchase alcoholic beverages and cut you off after 3.
The days of walking up to the bar to buy a round for everyone at your table are over.
Well, when I order wine with my grocery delivery, I have to show id—they can’t just leave it. But that kind of doesn’t count because it’s not about me personally. 😄
@Ghostinthemachine Let’s see…was that this century ? 🤔
@bijouxbroussard you make it seem so long ago.
How about two and half decades ago…
@Ghostinthemachine It really is, though. People born in 2000 are adults, now, some with children of their own. 😳
It's funny so the drinking age here is 19...I've had a beard since then so I've never really been carded but I got a haircut a few months ago and they shaved my beard really short and that day when I went to buy booze I got carded..I'm pushing 40 xD
@MrBlueGuy So ya gonna grow it back or quit drinking?
@Ghostinthemachine Quit drinking???


OH it's already back it grows really fast.

I've only ever been asked once. That was in Memphis airport when I was 57.

I can't remember the exact age, it was my early 30's, when the grey hair really started to show.

It was a few years ago, when we crossed the border to the UK. Now you need a passport.
I never been asked
Apart from being refused it in Orlando in a walgreens because I didn't have any id. I was about 45

But it helps when when your the same age as dirt
@HumanEarth You must be old, your memory is fading fast 💨

Probably in my early 30's
@Cigarguy must be young looking for your age!

@Ghostinthemachine I'm short so that probably had something to do with it lol

Did we switch accounts Sally?
@HumanEarth Not that I know of Slappy. Furry women just run in the family. Braiding our underarm hair was a favorite pastime.
