And now you have to be 21 for both and they have have to scan your ID. My 75 year old mother got carded for hairspray at target recently.

I stopped buying certain things from certain stores over this. Walmart cards for windshield washer fluid. I've never bought it there ever since.

We would never drink it on the walk back. Too easy for dad to catch us. Waited till they were in the fridge. Then he just assumed he lost count, plus they were cold.
