If you were born in 19XX and are somehow still getting ID'd then you're one of the lucky ones.

I'm from Europe and somehow I got carded like 3 or 4 times in my life and I was 18+ at the time even though I bought stuff like alcohol before that. It feels so weird to me but now that I'm older I'm shocked of all the things I got away with

True, it feels like places are a lot more strict about it now than they used to be.

When I was younger, despite it technically not being legal, it was normal to let teenagers drink in pubs, because it was seen as better to have them there where adults could keep an eye on them than out on the street at night. That just isn't a thing in pubs anymore in my experience.

(My experience is based on the UK and Ireland, I'm not sure about elsewhere)
