They actually checked IDs? When I was a teen the drinking age in NY
was 18 and it was 21 here in Ontario. All the teens from the Niagara
area used to head "over the river" on weekends. I started going over
when I was 15. A bunch of us went one Saturday night when three of us
were celebrating our birthdays. Two of us were turning 18 and one of
the girls with us was 15. Wally and I got ID'ed but she wasn't. It was
the first time for me to get IDed over there.
It was about 2 1/2 years later than the drinking age in Ontario dropped
to 18. My brother turned 18 two weeks later.
