"TGIFridays near Newton, MA for one. I'm not yet 50, but 40+ and was carded there two years ago. We were out with a work group, I didn't drive, didn't have my wallet, and they wouldn't bring me a beer. They said they require ID from everyone. "

gulp his Long Island Iced Tea while the 60-year old German couple,
who haven't been carded in 4 decades, have to resort to
Diet cola.
