The world is going crazy.
Several months ago, my in-laws were here and we went to one of the bars on Bourbon St for dinner and drinks, we all had ID (including current covid test results on our phones) except my father-in-law, who is in his 70's and quite obviously 'of age', he didnt have a physical copy of his ID on him and they wouldnt accept his digital ID, even though they accepted his digital covid test results
Needless to say, all except him were able to drink, yes, he should have had his ID on him, but at the same time, people need to use some common sense in situations like this.
