they still do in some people.

lame history time, club owners or w/e back in the day, would put x's on a minors hand so that the bartender could see, and not serve them.

But people who do this today, and are over 18 are redundent.

why is it redundant then?

because your not under 18, so putting x's on your hand is ummm lame

Putting periods in your name instead of x's is SOOO different.

hmmm, there should be a straight-edge thread here where we could talk about this. :P it's getting interesting

I don't believe redundant is the word you are looking for. I also don't see how it is lame, they are merely displaying their personal life choices, just because you might feel that having pre-marital sex while getting piss-faced is fun, doesn't mean it really is.

Drunk sex is not as fun as sober sex!
