Happy Birthday Adam! Welcome the the 'adult' (aged) world...the same happened to me on my 21st, it was months until I was carded...how disappointing! The funny thing is at restaurants when my wife and I go out, she looks young and she's 32 and still gets carded, what a compliment. Take these things in stride and enjoy the youth when you have it.
