I never get asked papers anywhere anymore. I'm 22, all my mates get asked for papers when we go to pubs, but the doormen always give me a "get over yourself" look, and let me in. When I turned 18, I bought hard liquor from liquor stores, and only like a year later someone managed to tell me that you actually have to be 20 to do that.
I think people pretty much think I'm ten years older than I actually am. A guy at a pub thought I was 35, and my mate was 25, while I was 21 and he was 22.
And yeah, it's all because of the beard.
