I was refused alcohol-free lager at one supermarket because I didn't have ID to prove I was 21. I was 34 at the time and had two older women with me who vouched for me.

She was refused on the basis that she would be buying the alcohol-free lager for me, and that they suspected me of being too young to be allowed to have alcohol-free lager...
