They were checking the ID of people obviously older than 50, what's the point of this?

Because they have to make it a reflex/force of habit thing to check ID so they never forget to. Hey, I take it as a compliment if I get carded these days.

The US ask everyone for ID due to security. They were not only checking you were old enough but were also checking out your identity due to the thraet of terroism over there at the moment.

I was in America in July, and same thing happened. They recorded names to ensure no one will be getting drunk on plane or having to much plus alcohol on planes. Also law enforcement is very strict over there regarding underage drinking so better safe then sorry! Another reason that my mate though of was that we were in departures and drinks could of been duty free so ID was to show you were not an american national so duty free possibly???

It is the law that you must posses ID when ordering any alcoholic beverage. It is weird that 80 year olds would have to do this too but it is the law

Um... because you need to be 21 to drink and an ID is used to prove that becuase it has your name, age gender and other things on it. Also its hard to fake/steal and use one (I think).
