Ohio is one, I think parts of Indiana also. <br /><br />It isn't legal in PA where I live though. I didn't order drinks underage, and I STILL get carded at 25. <br /><br />As a waitress, I find it annoying when people tell me they left their ID in their room, in their car, etc. LAME!!! Let's see, there are 4 of you- 1 of you turned 21 last week and the rest of you don't have IDs...but you came to a sportsbar and ordered alcohol? <br /><br />Don't get me wrong- friends and I will go out after work and I don't bring an ID to work. I usually just don't order anything unless we went several times that week and the bartender remembers that they have in fact carded me before and yes I am 25. If they ask for my ID, I just say "I don't have it- it's not a big deal, I'll take a Sprite instead" I don't act like I expect to be served when I can't present ID. The rule is anyone under 30, but I usually card the whole table just because it annoys me that I am consistently carded and my husband (1 week older than I am) isn't. Plus the 40-50 year old ladies are tickled pink to present their IDs...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-35182304952417795982011-03-07T12:19:01.445-05:002011-03-07T12:19:01.445-05:00@The Bartender

Also, a spouse of legal age can order a drink for his or her underage spouse.<br /><br />Sec.106.04.b CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL BY A MINOR- (b) It is an affirmative defense to prosecution under this section that the alcoholic beverage was consumed in the visible presence of the minor's adult parent, guardian, or spouse.<br /><br />Source- http://www.tabc.state.tx.us/laws/alcoholic_beverage_Code_referencing_minors.aspMark Wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-66730715385233683162010-09-29T01:33:28.526-04:002010-09-29T01:33:28.526-04:00I was like that when I was seventeen.

I am grateful when I was 18 years' old (early 1970's) it was legal in most state's to drink (my home is Dallas) .... actually I feel the drinking age should go back to 18 (I am a father with 3 daughter's), Why? Your old enough to vote, heh? and supposedly use what the masses call "good judgement" ... your old enough to be given a rifle and some grenade's, sent to some ratshit desert halfway around the world, and told to fight to the death .... and said that your old enough to use good judgement .... putting your life on the line, and sometime's just to get a college education in return .... but your not mature enough to drink? That's pure pop culture BS as far as I'm concerned. Nonetheless, enjoyed the posting ....

I have people try that all the time. I'll card someone and they miraculously don't have their ID but point at their mother and go, "That's my mom." I don't care. You're not 21, I'm not allowed to serve you. I mean, yeah, there are people like the servers in this post who don't bother to card or who would go along with the whole parent thing, but they're not supposed to.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06940070047873405638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-69667810643826749012010-07-09T13:04:56.793-04:002010-07-09T13:04:56.793-04:00I used to love underage drinking...it was kind of ...I used to love underage drinking...it was kind of easy since I've had a beard since I was 16, but oh, the thrill of the chase!

I drank occasionaly thru highschool with and without my parents knowledge of it all the time. <br />I stopped drinking before I turned 21- married had kids... Now at 26 I have found the joy in hitting up the local garcias mexican place and ordering mucho sized drinks for cheap.
