[QUOTE=RandMcnally]  
I turned 21 a few weeks ago and I have yet to be carded. I’m really starting to get pissed about that. When I was underage the moment I’d walk into a bar I’d get kicked out because I wasn’t old enough (nevermind I’ve been to combat…that’s another thread). The moment I turn 21 though, I’m allowed in without anyone checking.

Where’s the justice in that?

I’m 21 and I look twelve. Not only do I get carded, but the cashiers always laugh at me when I put beer on the conveyer belt, expecting that I’m some twelve year old with balls, and about 1/3 of the time they bring a manager over to verify my license is correct. I’m getting more than enough justice for the both of us, I promise.

Ha! You haven’t seen the inside of my wallet. I can afford just enough alcohol to remind myself I’m in a bar. I’m only getting drunk if I can convince my friends to buy.
