[Hassan i Sabbah]

Beer and bars: take some ID.

Firstly, you have to be 21 to drink.

Secondly, even though I'm in my 30s they ask for ID as a matter of course and they don't let you in without it (not in New England or in California, anyway.)

It doesn't matter if you look like you're in your 30s or not. Seriously: nothing sucks more than being disallowed entry to a bar when all your American friends have their IDs with them.
