Carding is not an option-it is valid and law abiding. I have been in the restaurant/bartender business longer than I care to admit. If you do not ask for ID, and the liquor inspector comes in and asks the same patron, you are in big trouble. Anyone legal to buy alcohol HAS to be able to prove their age. My kids are 19 and 21-one is legal, one is not. In a restaurant I would never allow the underage one to even THINK about ordering a alcoholic beverage. A beer on our deck is one thing...in a public place it is absurd. And as for those out there carding...if the patron is of age, they are grateful to be asked. If they aren't of age, hopefully they are embarrassed...
