Heh...mine were exchanges that happened all night long on my 27th birthday. Background was that I had lost my wallet about a week earlier so I was rocking the paper ID to get in. The door-man at the time was Joey, who I had known for about 8 years...Joey let me in with the obligitory X on my hand. It being my birthday, after getting frisked and let in, I made a bee-line straight to the bar where I did a couple of celebratory birthday shots with Syndel and got a drink. Wandered out to the dance-floor and ran into a friend of mine so I was chatting with her when Varga (bouncer) came up. He looked familiar to me but I didn't place it in time.

Varga: (looks at drink cup)

Varga: "What ya drinking?"

Me: "Vodka and cranberry! Want some?"

Varga: (looks at drink, looks at my hand, looks at me)

Varga: (looks at drink, looks at my hand, looks at me)

Me: (finally places why Varga looks familiar) "Oh, shit..."

Varga: (grabs my drink and starts escorting me off the dance floor)

Varga: (as we get to the doors) "Hey, Joey! We have someone that's trying to get the bar shut down with underage drinking!" >to me< "What would you tell the cops if they were here?"

Me:] "Well, I'd give them my information, they'd run it and tell you I'm 27"

Varga: "Shut up"

Joey: "C'mon Phil...you know better"

Me: "Joey, I've known you for years...you know I'm not under 21"

Joey: "Doesn't matter...you came in on paper. Here's a big circle around your X...if you get caught drinking again, yer out of here"

Varga: "I'll be watching you!"

So throughout the night, various friends of mine were buying drinks and giving them to me. Also throughout the night, Varga is watching me and seeing that I'm getting more and more drunk as the night goes on but is getting more and more frustrated as he isn't catching me drinking.

Later in the night, I'm hanging out in the back corner of the dance floor where the window was, talking with a pretty girl, dancing, and occasionally hiding behind a friend to pound drink after drink. Another security guy is standing there in the corner and Varga comes up to him, whispers in his ear, points at me, and then walks off. #2 comes up:

Security guy #2: Varga just told me that you were a trouble-maker and I had to watch you. Why do I have to watch you?

Me: (drunkenly lifts hand and shows off the circled X) I'm an underage drinker!

Security guy #2: "Bullshit. I've seen you here every weekend for the last 6 months, trashed off your ass. Tell you what...Varga is gunning for you so just make sure that you drink over here by me and I'll cover you."

The following week, my new picture ID came in and went to the bar. Was marked as being over 21 and was drinking when Varga came up to me:

"You're drinking again? You're out of here!"

Had a lot of fun showing him my hand and my ID.

Oh yah, I lost my pasties one night....."if those (my tits) come out again, (of my vampire cape) I am throwing you out." I had to stay sitting at the tables with my cape wrapped around me for the rest of the night.....

I was dancing and one of them came up to me and pointed it out to me and escorted me to the dgn tables.

Bav (and anyone else who drinks with an X on their hand whether they are 21 or not), you've gotta be careful. Even if you're over 80 years old, hooked up to a reperator, and need a cane just to stand, it's obvious that you're definitely over 21, if you have a drink in hand and don't have a valid ID on your person, you can get arrested and the bar fined. It doesn't matter if you have an expired ID, or one out in your car, or so many wrinkles and liver spots you look like a corpse, it doesn't matter if you can produce a valid ID stating you're over 21 later at your trial, if you don't have one on your person when you're drinking, you're boned. If the cops have a hard on for a bust some night, they will do it. I've seen it happen to a 43 year old. Seriously.

What I really thought was the funny part to all this is that I've seen people walk in at the age of 17 on a paper ID that didn't even belong to them (it belonging to the person that was in the front of them in line who was using photo ID) and get marked over 21. By the same door guy.

I do understand the concerns that bars have with losing their liquor license (having had worked at a club as a doorman before), but the idea of coming in on a paper ID when the door person knows I'm a hell of a lot older and getting marked underage and having the same door person let others in as drinkers on ID's that belong to the previous person in line makes me giggle.

And just the general idea of getting busted as an underage drinker at 27 is hysterical.

Inconsistencies abound.
