First new thread in aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagesOn Monday I had the genuinely delightful experience of being ID'd for booze. Once upon a time this would have been most irksome because it meant actually producing ID or accepting that I'd been rumbled and wasn't going to be drinking at that establishment. Now, at the tender age of 35, it's really quite flattering. Although the chap did rescind his request when I grinned at being asked, and he saw my laughter lines :-(
What else changes for the better as one gets older?
Alt: apart from my mother.
AltAlt: Take advantage of my prolonged absence and spectacular gullibility by making up hilarious bullshit reasons why people flounced/will flounce.

DrinkingAs a young man I'd be pouring Carling, Fosters and other such shite down my neck. These days I prefer stronger beers and red wine

To be fair I have no idea how old you are or where you went to UniIf you're 22 and it was in London that's a small round, and you're a fucking lightweight.

Music gets cheaperIn general, one can afford the good stuff a bit more, unless you're an utter loser.
You can patronise police officers with impunity.
Lying to children for personal amusement is a lot easier.
You can get really involved in conversations about fucking mortgages.

You can pass off your anti-social behavior as being 'set in your ways'I just get the comedy 'are you sure you're old enough' look from the dumpy checkout biddies. I only use the self-service checkouts so I can have minimal contact with the fucking crones, now go take the tag of my litre of vodka so I can start to forget your haggard nicotine stained face.

I wouldn't say drinking gets easier with ageSure, the choices of drink are a lot more varied and your taste buds are more mature, but the hangovers... Oh GOD the hangovers. Though I suppose you are less prone to drinking until you get mortal.
I love how your view on life changes, less important woes seem laughable when you read all the young whippersnappers' Twitter.
alt. I think those here now are in it for the duration. Unless relationship woes happen, or moving to Scotland before they gain independence and renounce the internet.
