Now there is a thing. I started going to pubs when I was 15 occasionally 
at lunch time while I was at school. Almost as soon as I turned 18 I 
started getting asked my age. The last time I was asked, was when I was 
25. Go figure!
As for chest hair, I had three when I was 22. A few more now but not 
enough to keep me warm.
