I guess technically there are people who are still 25 that were born in the 1900s. So not completely unreasonable.

But yeah, as someone born in the 1900s and not anywhere near my 20s, I just wanted to share what hopefully is a common experience:

Like many people, I got a new driver's license when I turned 21. Being 21, I was in the best shape of my life, looked nice and fit, still had hair, etc.

Fast forward 10 years when I need a license renewal, and I can just do it all online, no need for a new picture. Fast forward another few years when life has taken it's toll a bit - no longer in good shape, hair is a distant memory, etc. I went out to a restaurant and ordered a beer, and the waitress goes "this ID doesn't look like you at all."

Oof.

True, I guess I was being a bit Eurocentric when I made my comment and completely forgot about the US drinking age. I don't even know if that applies to all states or not...?
