ahaa,

Just caught up with this thread.

Like Deeboe, i too look young for my age (i'm 24) and get asked for ID wherever i go. For example:

I was in Tahoe recently on holiday and we decided to go to the casino's. Well I always get asked for ID in the casino's and i don't mind that as firstly in America i'm only 3 years over the legal limit, and afterall when you can potentially gamble 1000's of Dollars (BTW i stuck to 10's of dollars ) its good to know they take ID seriously.

Anyway i've lost all i want to loose for the night and i'm sitting in the bar. I haven't actually bought a drink at this point, just had them bought for me by friends and my fiance comes over. She asks me if i can get her a glass of water, so i say sure. When i get to the bar i ask for a glass of water and the bartender goes "got any ID"!

So i look at him and say "for a glass of water?" and he says "yeah, i need to see ID" So i handed it to him and got served the water. Now asking for ID for gambling or buying alcohol, yeah i can understand, but when you've been sitting in a bar drinking for nearly an hour (i might add the table was right next to the bar, so the bartender could see our group and we weren't quiet, but no more rowdy than anyone else in the bar!) and then get ID'd for a glass of water, i think thats a bit overkill!!!

Needless to say we walked the 10 metres down the road to the next bar as we didn't want to give our money to such a stuck up place (and yes i know i probably lost far more than i would have spent on drink, but its the principal )
