Loophole there is, that I can be in a bar with my mother, drinking until 9PM any given night of the week as long
as i have my driver's license on me, and her there with me. It's funny though, people always think that i'm 22 or 23,
and I never even got carded when we went to see HUMANWINE. I got served alcohol and everything.

Going out of the state though, the rules are not so lax. It's annoying when we go to Illinois.
Or that time we were in Oklahoma, and i wasn't allowed anywhere near the bar at the fucking applebee's.

Haha, that reminds me of a time that my parents and I were eating at the Red Lobster that used to be in Niagara Falls. I was 19, and old enough to drink in Ontario (and pretty much everywhere else in Canada), but obviously not old enough to drink in NYS. For beverages, I liked ordering beachcombers (a non-alcoholic drink) and virgin strawberry daiquiris (also non-alcoholic), but one time, I decided to see if I could slip one past my parents and our server, and I asked for a regular strawberry daiquiri, leaving the "regular" out, of course. The server looked at my parents to see their reaction, and when they didn't object, she went ahead and got one for me.

That was pretty minor compared to a time afterward where I almost embarrassed myself in front of our city's then-mayor, but that's another story...

Why exactly are some shows 21+? I'm having problems understanding why that would be necessary...
Drinking age in America. Some places are bars.

That doesn't stop some shows from being 16+ or 18+.
They're just jackasses.

Not always. Local laws muddy things quite a bit. 14+ and such are not always the choice of the owners.

LMAO. Very true.

Here in Canada we have 19+ shows. It's a bit better, but i'm not 19 so i can't get in anyways.

I think they should stop selling alcohol at shows and then they can all be All Ages Shows!  :)

There's only been one time when I was denied entry to a club. I had gone to Cliff Bells, this awesome 1920's Art Deco club right behidnt he Fox Theatre to see Hot Club of Detroit play, and the guy at the door couldn't let me an my two friends in. We had to stay, though, because my friend was supposed to be borrowing a bass guitar from the Hot Club bassist. We hung around outside for a while, and the guy finally let us in. I think it's mostly because it was cold out.

Patience little fishy.  At least we're one of the few places in the country that get the Tiger Lillies every year.  Actually, you're probably not old enough for that either.
