Carded by a web-site - Bwaaaaaaaa



I just plugged in a birthdate of 15/06/1812.
It came back with: "Please fill in your birth date. Using realistic numbers, eh?"
I thought this was an English website, not Canadian.

A cracker-brained company that sells alcohol:

http://www.coors.com/

Ah...clever way to keep underage people out: Ask them when they were born.:S
BTW The Bud site thinks a person born in 1812 is under 21.

Edited to add: I tried a real beer company (Guiness) and they use a different approach: pulldown menus for dates. But apparently, if you were born before 1900 you are SOL.

Just tried New Belgium: You select from 2 buttons to choose if you are under/over 21. Much simpler, and just as (in)accurate.

Boulder Beer: No age check! Woohoo!
