this site is not designed for minors. With that in mind we have created this really crappy test for you. If you can input a date of birth that means you are over a certain age then we will permit you entrance to our web site, otherwise please leave.
Problem number 1, anyone over the age of 18 (or, shock horror for drinks sites 21) gets sick of these things coming up so often. I mean come on people, just a button saying 'i agree, I'm over the required age' is a much better mechanism, because invariably the implementors of the web site in question have used some gorram flash animation that doesn't take key input, and can't deal with nerds typing dates.
The only time I got a kick out of something that insisted I was over a certain age asked me questions that were unlikely to be known by an under 18. The game was Leisure Suit Larry and it had a good collection of questions. I'm not certain, but I think they were age related, so if you claimed you were of a certain age then a different set of questions were sourced. you had to get three questions correct, and could fail two, after which it kicked you out.
