I am 31 and get carded for cigs from time to time, and I look old for my age. Full beard and everything.
Last year I was on my way home from a visitation; had a full suit on, full beard, etc. and I got carded for cigarettes. I was like "if there is a 17 year old walking around town in a full suit with a beard give the kid his cigs..."

I dont understand carding me. What is the rule? 30? I know i dont look 30. And casinos are what? 40? If i take my hat off i am gray. Went gray at 16, full gray by 25. Grandpa was gray early too.
Age is in they eye if the beholder, i guess.
Harry, you from Chicago? Right?

What type place was it ?
Aconcert at an auditorium or even a street festival they card everybody , but a grocery store or something like that should be able to tell old balls like yours. ... but if it was a public event or something its just policy old balls young balls , they gonna check balls.

The policy most stores have is 35 or 40 I believe, definitely not younger. I've read articles where the police and the alcohol commission sometimes engage in sting operations where they get an older looking 19-20 year old to go around and attempt to buy alcohol. When clerks sell it to them, they slap the clerk and the store with a hefty fine.
Here is one I just found now on google :>(

I'd imagine most clerks would card anyone who doesn't look at least 40 just to be safe.

Now that i think about it , it was a jeff dunham show not a concert , and i got pissed off b/c i could tell 6 persons in front of me that the guy was carding ecerybody , but the 35 year old biotch in front of me made a big deal about being carded and then wanted to thank the bartender for carding her , and i'm like "come on bitch , hes carding people in wheelchairs , just show your id and keep the line moving.
I didnt want to see that shit anyway , just went to make the wife happy.

Last time I got carded I was 41, 60% grey hair and 3 days worth of facial hair at an OCharley's. Plopped down at the bar, ordered a beer, guy says, "can I see some ID?" I started busting out laughing at him and made some silly comment that I can't remember and then I look at him again and he is just staring right at me, clearly annoyed I had made that comment. I said, holy shit you were serious, apologized and showed him my license.
