Fun fact, the drinking age in much of the country was lowered to 18 during Vietnam, with the explicit reasoning that if an 18 year old boy could be drafted and sent off to kill and die, he should be able to have a drink with his friends and family before shipping out. The federal government used the lever of withholding freeway funds to push states into adopting the drinking age change back to 21 after the draft was deactivated.

First they’ll give you a reason to drink!
