Just wondering

What was the drinking age in your state when you were a teenager?

I lived in a state where the legal age was 18. That meant, for all practical purposes, some 16-year-olds could buy beer.

That had some advantages at the time. But I would not endorse it as public policy.

That experiment didn’t last long and the age was changed back to 21.
