Hmm. Likely to cause more fuss than it's worth for Asda. How are you supposed to prove anything?

I can see why they sort have done this but isn't it an over reaction?

Wonder what they'll say when you point out that you can legally give alcohol to children over the age of 5 in your own home.

ive been asked for ID in a chain of newsagents as they have a challenge 30. I pointed out that I didnt need ID as im 41 but thanked them for the complement and then went next door to make my purchase and I have never been back since.

Yes but you should look at it as a compliment.

That you look young enough that they need to question it.

Thinking on this a bit more, if and its a big if I found myself shopping in asda and I was asked for ID then they would have the pleasure of having to put my shopping back on the shelves as id be walking out [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

Agreed. How are we to know whether the parents are actually teaching them responsible drinking? Which is something that should be encouraged.
