Why is the drinking age 21?
Before Prohibition, most states didn’t even have a minimum drinking age. But when Prohibition ended in 1933, most states adopted a drinking age of 21.
All that changed in the 1970s when many states lowered their drinking ages from 21 to 18 or 19 in response to the 26th Amendment, which let 18-year-olds vote. But it wouldn’t last long. #drinks #history #historyfacts
