So I've yet to be carded when ordering or buying alcohol

I've been 21 for slightly over a month now and because of that I've taken full advantage of the right to purchase alcohol. I've been carded exactly 3 times and each of those times everyone was carded because it was a club. But when I go out to restaurants with people my age or even to the liquor store, no one has carded me! WTF?? Does that mean that all this time I could have purchased alcohol and nobody would have called me on it?

Here's a recent photo of me...I don't look that old do I?

1. I'm 39, and I STILL get carded for beer.

I got carded for cigarettes a couple of months ago in Texas. I told the woman, "You have GOT to be kidding."

2. You look young enough to check

And that's the basic rule.

Back when I was 18 I went into a liquor store with a 23 year old woman and they made me leave even though I wasn't buying anything.

I don't have pics from then but I wasn't obviously under age so it was kind of weird.

3. I've never been kicked out of a liquor store...

Even when accompanying peers in college for a beer run

4. I never got carded until I was 36.

What is up with that?

6. I'm 36 and still get carded

I get carded about every other time I buy alcohol. However, when I was younger, I often did not get carded. :crazy:
