MINIMUM DRINKING AGE DISCUSSION |
|
|
Drinking ages were raised in response to the National Minimum Purchase Act that Congress approved in 1984. Each state was encouraged to raise their minimum drinking age to 21. If states did not do this they would lose portions of the funding that they receive from the Federal government for highway maintenance and development.
