Is she old enough to drink?

Customers are ID'd for age and at my favorite club, those under 21 must wear a glow in the dark wrist band so that the waitresses, etc know not to serve them alcohol.
But what about the dancers? They can strip at 18 but in most states cannot drink until they are 21. Management checks their IDs when they start stripping but who checks them for drinking. With so many dancers working and not carrying their IDs, how can bar tenders and waitress'know who is legal and who is not? They cannot be expected to remember who is legal and who is not and turn over among them is high. And what about the customer? How is he to know? Could he be held legally responsible for buying an underage dancer a drink? I know that under age dancers are getting shit faced.

I told her fine, lets prove you are 24 by going to the bar and getting a drink together. She laughed and told me we can go back in the middle of the song to start. I did end up getting 3.5 good high mileage dances from her.
I like the young ladies. My favorite answer to a drink offer, "yes, a Red Bull please."
Of course no guarentees how long the wristband stays on. One girl told me she often got in trouble for removing it. But got served a lot of drinks by unsuspecting waitresses in the meantime.
In 1984 Congress passed and the president signed the National Minimum Drinking Age Act. The Act, which raised the drinking age to 21 under threat of highway fund withholding, sought to address the problem of drunken driving fatalities. And indeed, that problem was serious.
States that lowered their ages during the 1970s and did nothing else to prepare young adults to make responsible decisions about alcohol witnessed an alarming increase in alcohol-related traffic fatalities. It was as though the driving age were lowered but no drivers education were provided. The results were predictable.
