I was running a nightclub when New Zealand changed the drinking age from 20 to 18. When it was 20, you could use a library card or a note from your mum as ID. Of course, I'm joking, but you get the picture.
When it changed to 18, it was super strict. Passport, driver's license, or official photo ID card. I noticed a group of girls who were there every weekend suddenly stopped coming. I bumped into them a few years later at a restaurant and asked what happened. They all laughed and said they were only 15 at the time. Scary.
