Most states have laws on the books that say that individuals must be carded up to an apparent age of 27. This means that if you look your age, you will probably keep getting carded until you're 27.

yeah, I get carded too. But it's for rated R movies :eek::eek:

Some people think I look significantly younger than my age, but my parents have always thought I looked older.

I'm 38 and I am constantly told I look around 28. One woman guessed my age at 24 the other night.

Good genes and working out really help.

One thing is for sure, it wasn't clean living. I smoked for nearly 20 years (tobacco free for a few years now) I was a teenage cocaine addict, and I spent most of my 20s binge drinking a few nights a week.

I'm in the same boat. I'm 26 going on 27 and I still get carded because I can pass for an 18 year old. On a good note though, it keeps the younger chicks interested.

Most sellers and doormen will card anyone who looks under 30.

I'm a very young looking 38 years old and I still get carded at many places.

I am 25 but I haven't been carded since I was 18, the grey in my beard and hair, not to mention the receeding hairline will do that to you. Last job I had, right before I left, one of the guys there was shocked when he found out I was 24, apparently he guessed 30. *shakes head*
