It was acceptable for teenagers to do it, in your mind, when you were a teenager. I don't think it's ever been acceptable to adults for teenagers to openly drink.

It hasn't been acceptable for at least 35 years! Please don't supply teens with alcohol.

It was 1989 when all states assumed the "over 21" rule.
I was 19 and up til then that had been the NY legal age.

I think they raised it to 21 sometime during the late 1980s.


It dtoenddd on the state. Mass was 1983. And I only know that because my brother made the cut off but some of his friends didn't.


It was before that, I didn't make the cut and I graduated from HS in 1982.

If you looked around 16 or 17 and were drinking (back when the drinking age was 18) nobody questioned it.

I don't think it ever has been acceptable, unless you're an alcoholic...

It was no big deal back when I was in high school.
Obviously opinions have changed since then.

Did this change take place when the drinking age was raised from 18 to 21?
