I feel your pain. I am 25 and get 16 all the time. I get carded everywhere(rated R movies included) I am married and people think my husband is a pervert! He is 25 also.
It used to really P**s me off, but my advice is to take it as a compliment. Look at it this way when you are 30 people will think you are 20.
Oh yeah and always have your ID handy!!

My daughter is 25 and a middle school teacher. At the first football game of the year some 8th graders tried to hit on her! She had to tell them she was a teacher! She looks 16, younger than her 19 year old sister.
How About: "Wow, that's quite an observation. Let's see, I think you look about (then add 10 years onto whatever you think their age is.)" That might make you feel a little better.
My daughter takes some consolation in seeing me, at 47, being mistaken for being in my early to mid 30's. No one believes I'm the age I am. Two years ago I was hit on by a 29 year old man who thought I was about 32. One day, you'll be happy to have youthful looks. :-) Sorry it's a struggle now.

You: I am 20 years old.
Them: I thought you were 16.
You: Oh, and I thought you were smart.

Say "Well at least when I'm forty I'll only look 36! It really must be tough looking so much older then you really are, huh?"

Just say thanks. My daugter is 35 and on occasion still gets carded in bars. She loves it.
