drinking age



drinking age

In poker, a slang term for the initial hand of a Two and an Ace, referring to the legal age to purchase alcohol in the US, 21. Also called an Acey Deucey or an A2. I felt pretty good after I was dealt a drinking age, but the rest of the cards gave me nothing to work with.
