Up to a certain age . . . like, say, your 30s . . . people LOVE to get carded when they try to buy alcohol. It makes them feel young.
But AFTER a certain age, it's just a nuisance. Everybody knows you don't look under 21, and there's just no need for it.
68-year-old HARRISON FORD knows how that feels . . . because HE was asked for his I.D. recently when he went to buy some beer.
He says, quote, "I said, 'I'm 68 years old,' and the guy said, 'Young people complain about being singled out, so we ask everyone to show proof.'
"I said, 'Take a look at me. Are you kidding?' But he still wanted to see it."
(I understand those "better-safe-than-sorry" policies. If you ask EVERYONE for I.D., then it's impossible to make a bad judgment call and sell to someone underage. It makes sense.)
(But at the same time, when a dude is 68, why bother? Harrison Ford looks damn good for his age. But even if you're being as generous as you can possibly be, you really can't peg him as younger than 55.)
