I think it's actually 40 in Florida (at least that's what the sticker at the register at Publix said when I was there on Friday).
But to your point, if you can't tell if someone is over 21, how can you tell if they're over 30? Or 40? Or 75? This is the argument for carding everyone. My point is that you should allow your employees a bit of intelligent latitude to decide who appears to be under 21 or not. Imposing a higher age threshold doesn't change the outcome of false-positives!
