Question

I bought some liquor today and was asked for my ID--I am 42,lol--what is with THAT?

Answer 1

I know a lot of people are saying its a compliment, but it's just retarded.

I'm 22 and only get carded if I buy from a store I don't usually go to.  Then again, maybe being a "regular" at a liquor store isn't the greatest thing...

Answer 2

i'm 17 and just bought some cig with no id

Answer 3

sometimes if the person who u are buying from is under the age of 21 they are required to ask for an id even if u are 97! thats how it is at a local grocery store around me....we even have to scan the liquor if they r 21....but anyway this may not be the case they may have just thought u looked young :)

Answer 4

Over zealous staff I'm afraid - our local tesco's got into the press for refusing to sell a bottle of Jack Daniels barbeque sauce to people in their late twenties without ID and for refusing to sell an OAP a bottle of beer as he didnt have ID!

Answer 5

LOL that is so cool......................

Answer 6

I wish it would happen to me.

They never ask me for proof (:-

Answer 7

Yea i had the same problem, my mam threw out the microwave today and now i gotta use the oven. Takes like 4 hours before i can actully eat!

Answer 8

if the person concern asked you at the age of 42 for some ID i would have turned round to him/her and told them to take a running jump

if they don't want a sale I'll walk down the road to the next place and get it

cheeky tart

and for conspiracy theorists

perhaps they are taking names ready for the next revolution when all alcohol drinkers will be the first up against the wall?

Answer 9

Welcome to the 21st century.  Don't trust anyone over three.

Answer 16

I was in New York recently and was asked for ID [passport] when I bought a bottle of JD - I'm 63 - believe me I didn't see it as a compliment. It' extracting the urine!!!

Answer 17

Unfortunately, because of so many minors that can pass for 40+, so many businesses have been assignment large fines for selling alcohol to minors. They drink then in turn drive put there selves and others in harms way. Not saying that adults aren't careless at times as well but, the focus point is underage drinking. So to be on the safe side the law requires id for any one who is 40 and under." One bad apple destroys the bunch....."
