I keep on reading more and more about how underage drinking is a big problem in this country. However on a night out recently, all of my group were aged between 24 and 28 i.e 6-10 years older than the legal age, and all of us got asked for id to proove we were over 18 during the night out. Further to that, I know plenty of people in their mid-late 20s who still get asked. Yet these same places are known to be serving 16 year olds. I admit I was once an underage drinker myself but that begs the question how did I manage to get a drink in the pub when I was 15 but could have potentially been refused had I got no ID now. In addition, i never got asked for ID when I was 18,19 or 20(I wanted to because I could proove my age by then)then since turning 21 it has started happening.On that basis and from personal experience,are they just cracking down on people blatently old enough and letting the younsters in on purpose or do pub workers really think 20 somthings look younger than 16 year olds
