[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depending on age (1980 would be younger than me, for example) many of us came up on the heels of "the 60's" but before AIDS and Nancy Reagan kicked in. The drinking age in DC was 18 - you saw from the kavanaugh hearings what it was like to be a teen here. Just a different time, but I fear for kids who have never experimented getting into this stuff for the first time while in college.[/quote] Yup. '67 here. When the drinking age was 18 (in WV and Ohio), kids drank more, younger and got in trouble less because a drunk 17YO was only months away from being legal anyway, unless they were from PA and driving to a neighboring state to drink. But even in PA, kids could drive to the border, buy and take the party home. It takes a population a while to adjust to a new normal.[/quote]
