What year did Florida change the drinking age to 19?

Answer 1

As far as recall it was 19 they changed it to 21 in 1985. The age increase went into effect in 1987. If you were old enough (19) to drink when it changed in 1985 you still could.

Answer 2

there is a petition going around trying to get it changed, but it is still 21..

FLORIDA
Although an individual may not be considered to reach an age of majority until a specific time under state law, a minor may engage in contracting for necessities and/or other items including employment. Once performance is made, payment shall be made either to or by the minor depending upon whether the payment or whether the benefits to the contract are received or given by the minor. A parent cannot collect a second time when payment has been made to a minor for a service such as an employment service when rendered. A minor may, however, repudiate a contract within a reasonable time after reaching majority. In Florida, the legal age is eighteen (18) years of age. An individuals age of majority is covered under Section 743.07’, and that is eighteen (18) years of age for purposes such as contracting. For the consumption of alcohol, an individual in the state of Florida must be twenty-one (21) years of age. (See Section 561.15).
