Sure different counties had different situations. I’m the UK I had to show my id while being 24 very commonly, the year before I lived on NL and was never asked.
A year after UK, it was asked without fail in the US even for a beer during lunch.
My favorite was in Ireland, while being 16, couldn’t get anybody to get me drinks from a store. I just thought “fuck it” and went to a Spar to buy vodka, handing my id immediately to the cashier.
He looked at it and turned out multiple times. It was in Spanish and he wasn’t familiar with it. Either he didn’t care, or war ashamed to ask, but just handed back and let me buy.
