    Knew a dude in HS who by 23 had hair worse looking like that

    Reasons as he gave them:

    Russian genes

    Bald parents

    Wayyyyyyyyy too much cocaine

      Yeah, but the law is that they have to card if the person “looks” under 25, and it’s only under 16 that they have to refuse to sell to. He absolutely does not “look” 25, and I think you could make a case that no reasonable person would suspect that someone with a receding hairline is under 16 where they’d have to refuse service, or even under 25 where they are supposed to ask for ID.

      Bald by 23, balding at 14.

      Germanic ancestry, I guess.

      Dad has great, luscious and full white hair. Mom has plenty of hair, but HER dad was bald.

      No cocaine, though I have smoked pot since 16, doubt it’s related
