Hey Guys, 

This is my first post here so dont hold it against me.

I live and work in Australia so i cant comment on any cards recieved 
elsewhere. If you are un-aware our legal drinking age is only 18years old, 17 
if with parents in some states. All of our licences and ID's are different 
from state to state, ie - some laminated, some pressed plastic. We also accept 
passports, or certain state travel cards. All the bars i have worked in work 
on a 25 and under policy. If they look 25, card them, if they dont have it, 
they more than likely are faking it. If the ID is damaged use your discretion 
and maturity. If the doorman has asked for ID and they are cleared it is still 
on us to not serve them. Not sure on other countries, but most states in Aust 
no require bartenders & waiters to have a Responsible Service Of Alcohol cert 
before starting employment with them. Interesting to see other countries 
handle things differently.

Regards
