Well here's a little sumptin that happened to me years ago on the subject of booze and legal age and all that stuff.
Years ago I used to work in a Mall when I was 17. I looked like I was about 22. Seeing as the drinking age in Ontario is 19, I had no problem whatsoever buying booze under age for me an' all my buddies. Anyway, I hated the job I had and it only paid about $5.00/hr. Seeing as the Liquor Store is run by the government, it pays very well. I got to know the manager and a couple of the cashiers there and at one point they all encouraged me to apply for a job opening. The pay at that time was $12.25/hr to start plus benefits so I would have been making over DOUBLE what I was in my crappy job.
As I'm sure you guessed by now, I couldn't apply because they'd see on the application that I was underage and I don't think they would have been too happy to find out they had been serving a minor all those months. I had to bite my tongue and tell them I "wasn't really interested in the job."
This is called Karma comin' home ta get ya.
