get asked for ID anymore? I am 28 years old and my husband is 38! Everytime we go to buy alchohol he gets asked for ID. I go and they just present me with the bill! I used to be Miss, now it's Mam. I must look my age now[msncry][msncry][msncry].

We have been getting asked for ID everywhere we go on this trip - it's very flattering and all that but also totally unnecessary as there is no way we look younger than 21.

You have to look under 35.....not 21.....and to be on the safe side they ask you well into your 40s.....

I'll make you feel better by saying that..they ask men for id more then women because men lie about their age more to buy drinks......:D

I hate it when people get on to this subject, I haven't been asked for ID for about the last 4 years now[msncry]
I'm sure I still look in my early 20's, in fact I'm quite possitive that I do:D:D

on the subject of alcohol - our group were discussing our nightly "refreshments" or "chill out time" drinks and wondered if we could get the likes of Baileys Irish Cream in the liquor stores or would we be better buying in duty free before we arrive?

Claire notes:
"I am 28 years old and my husband is 38! Everytime we go to buy alchohol he gets asked for ID"
That is because YOU look so young and he is with you! And, they don't want to embarass you and ask him as they assume he's paying, the gentleman that he is :-)

Morning Claire
I hit the big 30 the week before we go to Florida (April). Its depressing enough for me so would actually feel good about getting asked for I.D.
How sad am I?[:I]

I know exactly what you mean![msnwink]

Afew years ago we went down to St Petes as a trip out and did a boat trip .The compnay offered senior discounts and as John qualified he went proudly up to the office -passport in hand -to buy the tickets .He came back most disgusted because they didn't question that he was old enough to have the seniors discount;)
Last trip i took my eldest son who is 29 but to be fair looks about 18 so he handed over his pass port. They then called me over to verify it as they thought it might be forged ! He does look very young, i then joked but you never ask me for ID and he pointed to my grey hair. Hey! i said there might be snow on the roof but there is still a fire in the grate! Dont think he knew what a grate was![msnwink]
Once when we went to a diner we were automaticly given senior rates without being asked. I wouldn't have minded but I was the youngest at only 51.:(

My last visit was the first time I had not had to produce ID to get alcohol. That was a sad, sad day for me!
