Depending on the size of the town, date of birth could be used to severely narrow down and target a specific person.

If one suspects a partner of buying alcohol and could convince or coerse the clerk, or even just peek in the book, and see the partner's date of birth written there, then that is good enough proof for many people and many purposes.

We should end carding for alcohol for everyone because domestic abuse exists?

  • That's a ridiculous conclusion. Identifying a single problem with an implementation is not a reason to abandon the implementation completely.

    • It seems to be what you're saying. Otherwise I don't know what the point of your previous comment was.
