A recent study by Anheuser-Busch indicates that 86 percent of Americans believe that ID-checking is an excellent or good way to reduce underage drinking, and 55 percent of those polled think Leo is the celebrity most likely to be carded.

Thirty percent of those polled want to check Cher's ID to learn her true age (she claims to be 54), followed by Dick Clark (19 percent), Raquel Welch (15 percent), Zsa Zsa Gabor (15 percent) and Paul Newman (8 percent). Doesn't anyone want to see Susan Lucci's ID?
