bonanova Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 This college student and his gf enter together and are taken to a cozy place for two where they're seated. An attractive woman walks over and asks what he's drinking. He orders a Corona. Noting his youthful appearance, the woman asks to see his license. He obliges, she nods her approval, and returns with his beer. After a fun conversation with his gf, the guy again feels a thirst coming on. He looks around and signals for service. A different woman comes by, this one not so attractive. Again he orders a Corona, and again he is carded. This time he is refused service. This is another adapted chestnut, so some may have heard it before. Spoilers, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 They are on an airplane. He is 20. They were in Canada (or Mexico, etc) when he was first allowed drink. By the time he asked for the second drink, they were already flying over The United States =( I'm sure this may also apply to variations on geography and age.

0 Guest Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 When you go through customs before the flight, you're officially leaving the country from which you're flying. The country above which you're flying doesn't matter; it just matters whether you've gone through customs or not. They are on an airplane. He is 20.

0 araver Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Not sure that this is what this puzzle is about but it seems plausible to me (in clubs at least): - First one doesn't really check it (probably not wearing her glasses to be more attractive). - Second one checks it more thoroughly (probably wearing her glasses). I might miss something (I haven't been carded ever *shrug*) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Perhaps the first woman is not employed by the establishment, and is flirtatiously buying him a beer. Simple curiosity drives her to ask about his licence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 1) solution. They are on a ship in international waters for the first drink. Then the ship is docked for the second drink. 2) solution Drink 1 was given before midnight. drink 2 was after midnight when the drink age law was raised.

0 Guest Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Rather than being on a plane, they are in a restaurant car of a train. The train has crossed a border where liquor laws are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 the country has slabs based on age, so only 1 drink is allowed at his age... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I agree with Mordimar. They're on an airplane and flew backward a day in time (international dateline) It was his birthday the first time, but he was not old enough the 2nd time. Great riddle.

I suspect this riddle applies more to a cruise liner than an aeroplane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
bonanova
This college student and his gf enter together and are taken to a cozy place for two where they're seated.
An attractive woman walks over and asks what he's drinking. He orders a Corona.
Noting his youthful appearance, the woman asks to see his license.
He obliges, she nods her approval, and returns with his beer.
After a fun conversation with his gf, the guy again feels a thirst coming on.
He looks around and signals for service. A different woman comes by, this one not so attractive.
Again he orders a Corona, and again he is carded. This time he is refused service.
This is another adapted chestnut, so some may have heard it before.
Spoilers, please.
