Do you get carded?

[laurack]

Dorothys post in the hotties thread made me think of this. Do you get carded and do you remember when it stopped?

I used to get carded ALL the time.  But pushing a baby out of my vag and not sleeping for months obviously aged me. I have not gotten carded ONCE since I had her. Even at the liquor store when I am wearing sweatpants, no makeup, haven't showered and have food crusted on my clothes... I reach for my ID hopefully.. but, no.

Yes. Even when I'm dressed to impress.

[skwcm80]

Yes. Not as often as before, but that's to be expected.

[rileym2010]

Same here. I always got carded, until I had Evan.

[Faevantastic]

Yes, pretty much all the time. It's my Asian curse (or not curse depending how you look at it).

This is sad, but I only get carded when I'm a)made up purrty, AND b)not with my husband. My hubby looks obviously over 30, and I guess there is some stigma attached to that. He is 15 years older than me. However, when I'm solo, I still get carded.

[skiesthelimit]

Not anymore DH still does though, he's 32 and the legal drinking age here is 18. I'm worried people will start thinking I'm his mother. Oye.

[mumegs]

I still do most of the time.

[rjamz]

Ha! No.

I stopped getting carded in the last year too. Waaaahhhh

I never did when we lived in Kansas. We moved to Colorado and they card everybody here it seems, its annoying!

[DesertMoon]

I buy cigarettes from the same place, so all the employees know me and don't card me anymore, but if I go anywhere else, the card me and give me a sly look like "ha bitch, nice try!" I rarely buy alcohol,  but last time I did I did NOT get carded.

[eav2c]

Yes. People think I am like 16. Ugh.

[kistjenn]

Like @tambcat, I get carded when buying alcohol at stores, but if I order a drink at a restaurant, hardly ever.

[thedahliharpa]

Without my kids and husband in tow, yes.

[ashleydl83]

Rarely

[Regina Philange]

I always get carded. Always.

[fusion]

Not out to dinner, but about half the time at the grocery store.

[laurack]

Dang babies. They take away our sleep, turn our nether regions into sleeves of wizard, make us look old and haggard, ruin all our cocktailing fun, AND when we do finally get somewhere we can have a drink, we are then further reminded of our old haggardness by just getting the drink with zero hassle.

Grrrr. Babies, eh

[carawestt]

Yep, everytime. H does too.

[sno&2peas]

I don't drink much but I went out with work friends recently and got carded and also bought my sister a bottle at the liquor store for her 21st in March and the woman asked for ID then says to me, "you don't look that old" haha

[oso]

I don't get carded when I go to places that they know me, but I do once and awhile at stores that don't. New Mexico has really strict laws and it's a 4th degree felony to sell liquor to anyone with out an ID. About a month ago I was in line and a younger guys was buying the same beer as me and was kind of flirting. I told him that I was old enough to be his mother. He said his mother was 40. I told him that I was 42, he honestly looked shocked. Eighter that or he was looking to score some milf. It made my day.

Yes, often, but I think many places around my area just card everyone

It varies state to state and even city to city.

Colorado I'm always carded at 27, Kansas I was rarely carded after about 23, Illinois I was never carded at 20.

Yes. I get carded at rated R movies... well, last time I went to one was when I was pregnant but I'd imagine it would still happen.

[teamhayes]

I get carded all the time for either alcohol or nicotine and I usually have the baby with me. I don't look young I just think they. Are strick where I live. Obv the products are not for me and my baby belleh.

Really? I was about to say i don't think they card in NYC. I've only been carded a handful of times here, aside from bars where they check everyone's ID when entering.
