So the police who were busy breaking up the fights didn't come and find you drinking at the age of 20? Good thing, or the game would have ended your career, too, I expect.

Why would it have mattered? Drinking age was certainly no more than 18 then....it was only the 70's or early 80's that it was changed.

It was before 1970, I'm sure. I was oblivious before that, though. Didn't realize that it was ever lower than 21, except a few states in the 80's that lowered it.

The big move to 21 was in 1984 with some state preceding it by a few years. It coincided the federal government requiring states to have minimum ages of 21 in order to qualify for federal highway dollars.

I'm absolutely certain it was 21 in Indiana in 1974. I went to college there, and my friends who wanted to order drinks in restaurants had to go to Ohio. I'm almost certain Ohio had just lowered theirs from 21 to 18 just a year or two before that. And I know for sure it was 21 in Oregon from 1970 on, and we never did go to 18, did we, Camron? Did you grow up here? No wait, you're just a punk kid. You wouldn't remember the good ol' days... back when men were real men... and women were real women... and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small, real furry creatures.. from...
