What age did you stop getting asked for ID?

stevek93

Noticed over the past while, unless its all the stubble on my face, but buying alcohol cigarettes or whatever I rarely get asked for ID, find it somewhat intimidating I'm only 20. :P

bradlente

26,still get asked in aldi even though I'm fúcking bald.

_Redzer_

Same age as you. Unless I'm with other people my age I rarely get asked for ID. That's handy now, but I know they'll have the last laugh when they're in their 20s and I'll look like I'm in my 30s

Nearly 28 now.

24 and still get asked the odd time. I consider it a compliment now. Unless I don't have ID on me, then im FURIOUS!

I am 22 and got asked the other day for I.D when buying fags, the guy said, "you look about sixteen"


And they say smoking causes skin to pre-age

Last Sunday i was out for drinks with a friend, the barman asked me for id. I was like ehhh im 31...

Holy Hand Grenade

I'm turning 24 in August and they still ask for it most of the times. I like it though, makes me feel younger.

I don't know yet and I'm 26

When I was 20 for most places. I do have a beard so it probably helps.

27

I looked young for a long time.

DEFTLEFTHAND

Still get asked on occasion in nightclubs and off licence's outside of my locale. I'm 25 soon to be 26.

They can't be too careful these days in fairness, especially off licence's considering what they face if they got caught. If you're under 30 or anyway fresh faced looking you need to have your ID on you on a night out.

Lucifer MorningStar

Turn 26 soon enough, still get asked.

Was buying alcohol in Tesco a few weeks ago and the girl at the check out asked me for ID. I thought she was joking. She insisted. I was searching for my student ID and babbling away about how she had made my day. Told her I was 40 last September and my son is nearly 20. She eventually believed me, just as I found my student card.

Brian_Zeluz

At almost 23 I still get asked pretty much everywhere here. Got asked once in 5 months when on Erasmus in Austria. Their lower drinking age of 16 for beer probably had more to do with me not getting asked than me being 21 though.

Not you OP, Not you I thought you were different. You're all the same everyone, every, last, one, of, you.

I'm not a baby, I am a man. I am an Anchorman.

Tesco used to have that rule but drivers license always did the job. Only got the new card DL so it is better now.

Haha was that more annoying that you had to produce ID or more of a compliment that she didn't believe you at first?

21 and still get asked, although last time it happened the young man in the off licence apologised profusely and got all nervous and shy after I showed him my ID which was funny. Poor lads.

Jhcx

21 with a beard got told i look like im 16/17 so think i'll be getting asked for another few years Thats fine with me.

akura

I'm 21 and always get asked. A few weeks ago I was buying spray paint and the woman wanted ID to make sure i was over 16.

131spanner

I'm almost 21 and still getting asked, which is fine by me as I'm young looking anyway.

A few weekends ago I was on the way into a nightclub and the bouncer accused me of editing my license to say I was born in '93. I asked him if I was 17 why would I have a full license issued almost three years ago, or change my DOB to say I was almost 21? Felt like a right boss so I did

Frito

I'm 34 and was last IDed in March. Don't mind so much now that I can prove my age.

The Backwards Man

Was asked for ID last November by a surfer stoner in a grass skirt.

Chattastrophe!

28, still get asked!

rossie1977

was in new orleans last month and got asked for id in numerous places even though i am 37..

Late Permian.

Galwayguy35

Not sure, early 20's I think.

I think during the teenage years girls look older and more mature and get less hassle getting into clubs than boys but as lads get older and start shaving and grow taller it's the ladies who get asked for ID more ofton.

AlanS181824

Still get asked... Pain in the hole!

Daveysil15

I got asked once when I was 29. Before that it would have been fairly regular until I was about 25.

Antar Bolaeisk

I've never been asked for ID, I feel left out.

+1. Never been asked for id/refused a drink. It was definitely easier back in the day. Someone posted about a DOB of '93 I was a seasoned campaigner then. There was at least one spot in most towns where a tall 15 year old had no bother "getting in". Used to go for a drink mid-week with the oul boy in the local when I was 16.

I'm 25, and I still am asked for ID everywhere except my local shop, and that's only because I worked there 10 years ago, so they know my age.

When I met my bf's mother a while back (he's 29), she was convinced I could be no older than 16, and gave him a talking to about going out with kids, when I went home

livemusic4life

I'm 32 now, last carded in Ireland about 6 months ago, before that it was regularly til i was 29. Still get carded all the time in the uk.

i was talking to the electric Ireland dude at the door the other day before i went out. Brother was doing some painting work for me. EI guy came back when i wasn't there, spoke to my brother and said "i was speaking to your daughter earlier" he was very insulted

WesternZulu

Still get asked regularly enough.

The day I turned 28 last summer I was in the supermarket buying 4 bottles of beer to celebrate but your one at the checkout wouldn't serve me.
I was both disgusted and pleased all at once :pac:

Not happening as much as it used to though

Gadgie

I don't think I ever have been asked, except when they're ID-ing everyone. I've never had an age card, nor do I bring a driving licence or passport out with me.

I started going out when I was 15, and my friends were all 16 or 17. They all used to get asked for ID (they had terrible fake IDs ordered from the back of magazines; this was in 1999, pre-Garda age card), then when it was my turn I would be told "it's OK, you're alright".

I got asked in Tesco a couple of years ago and I was quite shocked, until the girl on the checkout burst out laughing and said "only joking!"

I used to work in a shop and a customer once asked me if I had children. I was 14 or 15 at the time. :eek:

I don't really look that much older now, so it's all good. :pac:

omb0wyn5ehpij9

I was about 24 or 25 when they stopped asking me regularly for ID!

vickers209

Been asked bout 3 times all me life im 29

was asked for id about a year ago buying a scratchcard!! I thought i was hearing things.
I was being served in pubs and off licences since i was 16 never a bother.

Got asked in the states once when buying a bottle off beer in a shop.

relax carry on

34. And I kinda miss it now. Sad.

We talking bum fluff here? In a beard off between you and that Eurovision winner, who would win?

Can't remember last time I was asked for ID. Course I'm balding and 36, so I got that going for me.

sunflower27

many moons ago I was asked going into Fitzsimmons in Dublin. I was 30

The Pheasant2

Haha I remember being at the cinema before and some power-mad ticket checker was insisting to this guy that she needed ID to let him into a 15's movie! The lad was about 20!

They were arguing for about 10 minutes, the guy absolutely incredulous that she didn't believe he was at least 15, when eventually the frustration got to the guy - he points at his face and roars to the entire cinema "I HAVE A FÛCKING BEARD!"

Found that hilarious

Aldi have a 25 and over policy for buying booze.
