    Around here there are no carded at door places, you get carded only the first time you try to buy an alcoholic beverage. So, I don't ever have to worry about being carded (as I am always the Designated Driver). On my 31st birthday (5 years ago) I did try to get drunk (I had my cousin as a Designated Driver)..I had my ID on me. They carded me.

    Since I had had like 5 beers (and that is it) my whole life, I should have been an easy drunk. Guess 305 lbs (at the time) soaks up more then we thought. Gave up after 1 long island ice tea, a rum and coke, and 6 guiness (spelling?). Weird thing is we got back to my place, I drank a wine cooler, and got the giggles.

      My general non-alcoholic tipple is a pint glass of orange-juice-and-lemonade. Our local knows I order it a lot so they've made a button on the till just for it I'm probably not the only one who orders it though.

      But how would you be able to tell whether I had or hadn't put a shot of vodka in that? What about a girl with a glass of clear lemonade? Do you taste it?

      Then again, I go to a British pub, and they love us because we're kooky and sit in the basement where few others want to go - also because we generally order about £80 worth of food every Saturday. Can't go to clubs, too many flashing lights; also my epilepsy gives me a good excuse to shove in the faces of anyone potentially getting me to imbibe booze...I'm a depressive drunk at the best of times, and I don't like it.

        ^ you could just be simple and order a coke Ever since I went blonde, i get carded constantly. People at work asked if I was doing "highschool or college" homework.

        I'm 24 next month.

          Forgive my ignorance, but why do IDs have expiration dates?
          One reason could be due to the fact people age and will need a more up-to date picture and possibly other info on their ID.

          An example would be passports over here in the UK. As far as I know, Passports for people under 16 or something have 5 year passports, and 16+ have 10 year passports. (since children and teens obviously still growing and will look quite different after a few years, and I think the 5 year passports cost the same too :-/ c*nts, lol)

          Plus it would look odd being 71 years old and having a picture of when you were in your twenties on your ID. ^_^

          Also my drivers license is valid until 2052 on the paper counterpart, but the plastic card with picture is valid until 2015 and would need an updated photo when I get that replaced. ^_^

          And that's enough of my waffling... :-P

          edit; Forgot to read second page of comments in this thread -_- so don't know if someone already answered about the reasons, lol nevermind. ^_^

            Oddly enough, my dad kept his university ID from the early 1970s - when he worked there as a "tame engineer" for the Physics labs for several decades. It definitely looked dated.

            And I need to update my passport. :-(

                I think you'd be abusing that Death Note if you were. Although, don't they see the death dates and not the birthdates?

                  ...I sit corrected. It's been a while since I've read the series, anyway.

                    When I got my first driver's license in Arizona the expiration date was my 65th birthday, I still have it laying around somewheres too.

                      several reasons. to update your photo, to update your other info, and (in the case of a drivers license) to compel you to come in and take a vision screening.
                      Thanks. How often do you have to have it renewed?

                      I have an old-fashioned paper licence, with no picture. It is valid until I'm 70.

                        It varies from state to state/country to country. In Massachusetts it's every 5 years.

                          Out of curiosity, do you have to update your info if it changes before you get your licence renewed? Here you must update within X number of days of changing your address (I believe something like 6), but the expiration date doesn't change. (They're now tying the expiration dates of health cards and D.L.'s so you have to get the new picture at the same time for both.

                          Does a basic proof-of-age card expire just as often?

                            Yeah....if you move within the state you have to notify the RMV and they send out a sticker with your new address on it that you put on the back of your license. I don't know about non-driver IDs, but I think the same basic rules apply to those.

                              Here in Ohio they just give you a proof-of-address card to keep with your ID. You don't have to update the ID itself until the expiration unless you want to.

                                I'm 33 but look much younger (most people guess early - mid 20s, but I've had people guess 18 or 19 before) so I always have my ID on me.
