Why should anyone inclined to want to buy beer have to show ID to do it?
- toomuchtodo 8mo agoBecause you’re required to in all 50 states to prove you’re over 21.
- coldpie 8mo agoI don't think that's true? Rather, stores must not sell to anyone under 21. I'm almost 40 and rarely get carded these days.
- chrysoprace 8mo agoI don't know how it works where you live, but in many jurisdictions around the world (including the one I live in), you have to provide ID to prove that you're of drinking age.
