Hooters customer Charles JohnsonWhen Charles Johnson ordered an alcoholic drink with his lunch at a Hooters in Florida, the server asked for ID. "I haven't been asked for ID since I was 35 years old," Johnson told local TV station WTSP. Places that serve alcohol to minors face harsh penalties, from the suspension of a business's liquor license to steep fines for the seller, and even a permanent criminal record. So some businesses have become more vigilant, too, even if that means refusing a person as old as air conditioning. (Air conditioning was invented in 1932, according to About.com, the same year that Johnson was born.)
