The Legal Drinking Age Used to Be Different in Every State. Here’s What America Looked Like Before 1984. [MAP]

It’s difficult for many Americans to imagine the United States without 21 as the federal drinking age. In the U.S., legally consuming an alcoholic drink at 21 years old has become a rite of passage, largely due to the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984, which mandated that all states make 21 years old the legal drinking age. But before then, states’ alcohol laws were constantly shifting. So, how did the state-by-state landscape look just before the 1984 legislation? The article The Legal Drinking Age Used to Be Different in Every State. Here’s What America Looked Like Before 1984. [MAP] appeared first on VinePair.
