That varies from establishment to establishment and state to state - one 
of the challenges of not having unified laws across the country is that 
one never knows (necessarily) what laws apply.

Here in Utah, I don't get carded any more.  My wife used to (even though 
she's 6 years older than me) until she stopped dying her hair.

At 21, my son didn't get carded many places because he could not shave 
for 30 minutes and have enough scruff to pass for 35.
