I don't need to show my ID in Oklahoma, but I don't look remotely like a 20 or 30 something man. Lots of grey hair (I never cared if it turned grey, just don't turn loose) and unless it is a store policy never need to show ID.

One store nearby had a policy that anyone buying alcohol or cigarettes had to show ID. I laughed and told the clerk I had not been carded in years. He pointed at a guy in the store and said that is my older brother. I know his exact birthday, and how old he is. He pointed at the video camera and said if they saw him sell beer to anyone without asking for ID he would be fired, even his own brother.

In Tennessee if you order alcohol at a restaurant, even if you look like a geezer, they will ask to see ID before you can get it. I sat next to a table with a family and the matriarch who was likely in her 80s, wanted a beer, but her son had picked her up and she did not bring her wallet. He had to order the beer, and show ID, and then just let his mom drink it.
