The only times I got carded were:
1) If the place cards EVERYONE
2) If I was out with my sister's ex husband (he had a baby face)

I bought 380 dollars worth of booze from Costco the day I turned 21 and I wasn't carded.

Needless to say, I was pissed.

Rarely. Sometimes I get carded at the liquor store, but usually not.

I'm 23.

Always. I'm 28 but I still look like I am 20.

Though at the casinos, if I start playing at a table with small money, I get carded. Bring out a few hundred dollar bills and I can play for a while, then get carded when I start winning, but never carded when losing.

I get carded every so often. It irritates the shit out of me, because I don't look anywhere near 21, by any stretch. I must get a "you really are a dumb fucker" look on my face when they ask for ID, because the clerk immediately starts apologizing, or quoting regulation before I say anything :^D

I had full beard and mustache when that Best Buy lady carded me. WTF

What does that prove? Go to the hispanic part of town and you'll see plenty of 12 year olds with full mustaches and beards.

A receding hairline has its advantages... mothereffer.

Honestly, I've only been carded once buying liquor in the past year. I have the facial features of a teenager. Hair, not so much.

This.
If I let my beard grow out then it's even less. But I don't like to go out in public often looking caveman-like.
Also depends how often I frequent places enough for people to remember me. I'm sure sometimes they just do in case someone is keeping an eye on their carding frequency.

Yes I get carded by most places because the law is that if you look under 30 they will card you. I'm 25 and have a young looking face. I don't mind that they card me they're just doing their job.

I was at Walmart getting some cigars and they carded me. At that time they had a 30 or under policy on tobacco (I think its 40 now, insane).. Anyways, the lady asked me for ID.. I pointed to the sign and said I am not under 30... she said OK, and rang up my order.. LOL.

Heh... I'm 42 and with enough gray hair to have not looked even remotely under 21 for some time now.

lol I'm sure the bouncers don't want to mess with you since you could probably kick all their asses
