Chalk it up to corporate geniuses and bureaucrats that feel they have to protect us from ourselves.
And as to being carded for ordering a beer, I was last week in a Pizza Hut in Casper Wyoming. The kid that carded me wasn't old enough to carry our beers out. He said it was corporate policy to card EVERYBODY. He had his manager bring tour beers out. I told the kid that I was legally drinking beer before his dad was born. He just gave me a dumb look like he didn't have a clue as to what I said. I legally started drinking beer in 1964.
