Re: [TCLUG:22192] OT: booze rant

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.

Warmest Regards,
Mark
