jul 17, 1984 - Drinking Age Act

Description:

Congress passed the Drinking Age Act, which required states to raise their minimum age for alcohol consumption from 18 to 21. This is important because it has led to heavy debate and recently has caused a controversy on whether or not it should be higher, lower, or remain the same.
