In what year to give some perspective (and to reveal your age).
Did you have any trouble getting served?

12 years old, in 1967. Things were more liberal in those days, and we didn't cause as much trouble a youths today. Unless we had been at the Merrydown first!

I was 17, though actually I was only about a month off 18. Er I'm 25 now so that would make it um 1998?
I didn't have any trouble getting served, but I got asked for ID about two months ago at a club. Not sure whether to be flattered or offended but was mostly just annoyed.

In 1970 I was 14 years old and had no problem getting served that was the first and last time i had a drink of beer i hated the stuff and still do after 36 years. I now drink the odd glass of wine.

It was in 1968 when I was 14, there were four of us, two lads both 14 and our girlfriends both 13. Had no problem getting served at all. The bar was well known at that time for being easy for under 18's to get served.

my first time was in 2000 when i was a young naive 15 year old lad,
i had no trouble at all i used to go out most weekends clubbing, i hardly ever got asked for ID, as soon as i turned 18 i got ID'd all the time,
i would never try and get served alcohol now though if i was 15 the doorsupervisors (got to be pc) seem so strict now

Well iwas 16 years old and it was back in 1988. I had no bother getting served and the friend i was with was 14 years old. We were drinking bottles of Holsten Pils and Double Maxim ale (which i dont think they do anymore). I then used to catch the last bus home and buy a bag of chips with tons of salt and vinegar on them to disguise the smell from my parents.
