> Short of a government issued ID there is absolutely no way for you to make an accurate assessment of someone's age. Worse yet, people from the British Isles look _really_ young to most Americans. The opposite is true, as well. I've seen friends who I think are obviously underage have no trouble ordering drinks in London. Most places have policies about carding people who look under 30, because it is so hard to tell amongst such diversity. Doesn't make much sense to be happy about our diversity and then criticize the consequences.
