    Congrats on being legal. I'm 37 now and was on a date last year in which they carded the girl but then just looked at me and laughed. I guess the noticed the grey in my beard at the time.

    lol, I'm 47 and can't remember the last time I was carded!! I was probably still not legal the last time it happened!

    If someone carded me now I probably say "why ... THANK YOU, SOOO MUCH"!!! LOL

    I can't remember the last time I was carded. You know your headed downhill when food establishments start giving you the "Senior Discount" and your really not old enough for it yet. Yeah I am on the downstroke now!

    HAHA, the only reason people think I'm older than 16 is because I have tattoos. I'm 27. I love it when they look at my lisence all suspicious and shiffty eyed then look at me, then the lisence, then me then say "I guess you're old enough."

    If any of you have read my "making myself look older..." thread in off-topic, you know how I feel about this.

    On my 21st birthday I left work at lunchtime and went to my local ABC store. The guy carded me and looked back and forth between me and the license about 6 times. He then literally sailed my drivers license back toward me , put his hands on the counter , and said : Well you didn't waste anytime getting down here did ya ??? Funny as he_ll now but Mule-lipped me at the time .

    I like how you specified your first "legitimate" purchase..... I don't think any of us would believe that this was your first ever purchase!!! LOL!

    In fact, I've bought alcohol in Carbondale many times. Never legally!!! Those were the good old days.....

    When I used to party down there it was crazy. The police had to shut the streets down on the weekends. There used to be a lot more frat houses than there are now. Most of them got closed down in the 90s. It was out of control at SIU for a while. Good times.

    Enjoy being carded for as long as you are able. Also enjoy being called "dude". I recall the ski trip when the resort workers stopped calling me "dude" and started in on the "sir". I miss being a dude...
