Not old enough ?

We could by 3.2 beer in Ohio at 18. I never bought any of it. The voting age was a also 18. I missed going to Vietnam. Born too late.
The law was changed in 1983. The legal drinking age then went to 19. Big deal, right? I never drank the stuff anyway. I never acquired a taste for beer. To purchase or drink wine or liquor, you must be 21.

I don't recall the year, but R.Reagan gave states the "options" of either raising drinking age to 21 or lose their highway funding.

That was not Reagan, that was Congress, resulting in South Dakota v. Dole. Elizabeth Dole was Secretary of Transportation.
