All states have 21 as their drinking age. It is up to the statest o decide drinking age, but the federal government withholds funding for highways if the age isn't raised to 21 one. So much for choice.

THe drinking age is actually set by the states, BUT...Congress has the power to withhold Federal highway money if a state does not set their minimum age at 21.
So a state could set it at 18 if they wanted, but then they wouldn't get any money to improve their roads.

i believe that it is 21 in MOST states, because there is a federal/government thing that says if a state wants to make the age 18 (or whatever else), then they dont get federal funding for highways, which is pretty hefty and important. so i believe all states have the age set at 21, except hawaii maybe (because what do they care about interstate highways anyway lol)

The nationwide minimum ingesting Age Act of 1984 states that gross sales will be withheld from states that enable the acquisition of alcohol to all people below the age of 21. some states do no longer enable those below the criminal ingesting age to be found in liquor shops or in bars (commonly, the version between a bar and a cafe is not any matter if nutrition is being served). opposite to prevalent conception, in view that nationwide minimum ingesting Age Act of 1984, few states mainly limit minors' intake of alcohol in inner most settings. As of 2006, notwithstanding, 30 states do no longer mainly ban underage intake and an more desirable 15 states have chum and/or region exceptions to their underage intake guidelines.

Its 21, in 1983 President Reagan encouraged the country to raise the legal age of consumption for all spirits to 21 and included federal highway funds to that as a way of getting the states to comply.
I remember this, it was my senior year and I helped organized a day where the students did a sit in. We could vote, serve our country, go to prison, but we were having our decision taken away to consume legally.

It's 21 in all states. A few years ago Louisiana rolled it back to 18, but that didn't last very long.

It's 21 for the most part, but there are exceptions and the laws are uniform from state to state.
