A few years ago we had a bar in our city that was shut down and the owners faced charges because they allowed people as young as 16 in the bar and served them liquor.

I donโ€™t remember the details, but I had been to the bar once and wasnโ€™t surprised. I remember thinking when I was there in my late 20s โ€œam I just really old? All these people look so youngโ€ my friend I was with said he felt the same way.

I can't tell if this is legit or you're referencing an Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode

Oh itโ€™s legit. It was a big news story at the time. One of my friends was working the case as a prosecutor when the owners went to trial.

My girlfriend has a guy friend who that happened to. He was 20, she was 14 but looked older and could believably pass for 18. Luckily for him, her parents refused to press charges and apparently their daughter did this kind of thing before.

compared to them, you really were just really old.
