I wore the front cover of my passport, clean. Carrying it around in the
heat. Not that I would be buying alcohol every day.
It seems strange to need to carry ID all the time.

Absolutely. Gerunds sound too samey when looking at a list of titles.

In Utah, I remember there being an issue with someone from outside the US
(maybe it was someone from the UK) trying to buy alcohol with their
regular ID - which didn't include a photo. Utah requires (or at least
required at one time) a photo ID for purchase.

Shortly after my 30th birthday, I stopped off at a liquor store on the
way home from work to pick up six-pack of something fermented. The
little pimply-faced ferret behind the counter immediately demanded my ID.
I was absolutely tickled spitless. I was giggling and grinning as I
pulled out my driver's license and handed it over.
"Thank you," I said, in the sexiest voice I could manage (given his
complexion). "You've made my day."
"Well," he snarled snarkily, "we have to card EVERYBODY."
There is no doubt whatsoever in my mind that the little pimply-faced
ferret is STILL a virgin.

When I was around 30, my buddy and I took our wives to a bar to see NRBQ
(good band). The women were carded, the men weren't, and they were so
ecstatic that we got mileage out of that all night. "I got carded! He
thought I looked at least *close* to 18!"

That's easy to solve, you walk round the block, buy a gun, then go back
and ask again for a drink :-)

Nope, no mention in 2nd amendment about requiring photo ID to buy a gun
;-) Seriously though, it seems in Utah to buy from a "dealer" they need
to run a criminal background check (which I assume means they'll want to
see ID?), but private sales are legal and subject to no such
requirement, so it shouldn't be too hard to come into possession of a
gun without ID.

The liquor stores in Utah typically have a police officer on duty. I
wouldn't recommend coming in with a gun and threatening anyone. :)

Heh, that's certainly true.

So, you have the interesting situation where it is easier to buy a gun
than a bottle of booze; where there is a policeman standing inside the
booze store but not in the gun store...
Weird country. Maybe a topic for the brothers Coen.
