I'm 21, and I don't smoke, and I don't drink, so I've never had any issues there. When I buy R-rated movies or M-rated games I get carded about half the time.
Do you get carded?
- Thread starter Stephen!
- Start date
I look older than I am - at age 23 - at least when I have a goatee, which is most of the time nowadays, I shave it off my facial hair gets too long tho, I'm too lazy to trim, and I don't trust my girlfriend to do it since she trimmed the hair on my upper lip into a Hitler once lol. The only places I still tend to get carded are at nightclubs, obviously, and at the supermarkets, the latter are always super-careful when it comes to buying alcohol. I always tend to go to the same three bottle stores, so they never check my ID, unless it's someone different behind the counter.
I don't buy liquor or cigarettes all that often (and always for other people), so opportunities to get carded are slim, but I don't think I ever have been carded in those cases. I don't get carded going into clubs.
I do get carded for buying psuedoephedrine, but that's because the places around here card everyone without exception.
I used to gamble in Vegas all the time since I was 15 with no questions asked. Of course if I had won something significant I'm sure they would have asked then.
I've always been very tall with lots of facial hair since my early teens, so I always looked older than I was.

I'm 27, got carded just the other day for the first time in probably a year.
Years of drink and smoke have aged me prematurely, so I'm pretty sure he was just new on the job.

I'm 28, but I look younger than I really am. The legal age limit to buy anything restricted here is 18. The last time I got carded was two years ago; when I was in the USA. I got carded while entering a bar, they didn't accept my EU identity card, so I had to get back and get my passport.

I'm far too old to get carded now, but back in the 80's I was only asked my age when buying booze once (we didn't have ID cards then). And I was 18 at the time, which made me legit for such things. Although I had been buying booze from that very shop for at least two years at the time...
While I look younger than I am, I haven't been carded in almost twenty years. I did get carded up until my late twenties, though.
You thould have thaid it wath a meth.
I get carded less and less now. Which I'm not too happy about. 
In fact they usually accept a verbal reassurance, without my having to fetch my passport. I suppose they think an 18 year old wouldn't usually react by thanking them for the compliment and have a good chuckle about it.

I'm only 21, so I should be carded. That being said, I do look younger than my age, so I expect to be carded for a long, long time.
I'm only 22 so I expect to be carded, but I probably will be for many years to come because I look much younger than I am. When I meet new people they always think I am in high school...they are shocked to learn that I am a graduate student.
When I was 20 I tried to buy cigarettes for a friend and they wouldn't accept my ID. They thought I looked too young and was faking it.

I'm mid 30s and have only been carded in the US (year and a half back)
I would LOVE to be carded - but - at 62, it ain't too likely.
If that's you in your avatar, you look extremely distinguished. 
Everybody hold onto your hats...I'm 35 and still get carded pretty much everytime for alcohol. And very often if I buy cigarettes for my mom they'll card me. To be honest, it is flattering but it does get annoying after while. I'm only 5' so that could be part of it.
I was at Whole Foods a few weeks ago and the woman that was giving samples of some lotions, etc. was chatting with me. She said, "You should try this stuff, I've been using this stuff since before you were born." I'm looking at her thinking that she can't be all that much older than I am. So I said, "How old do you think I am?" She said, "I'd say 21 or 22, 23 at the most." I said, "I'm 35." She genuinely looked shocked and said, "No WAY!! You don't have the first wrinkle, your skin is gorgeous." Made my day but it was also funny. She said, "You don't need this stuff." What can I say, the Native American genes must be tough.
