Why the drinking age in the US is 21

[(Anonymous)]

And why there isn't public support for changing it. Surely, everyone thinks it's too high!

Ronald Reagan, and a screamy shouty pressure group called MADD. That is why. Saint Ronnie saw an easy way to pander to the suburban Karens, and the democrats were too piss weak to oppose it.

Oooh, I know this one! It used to vary state by state, but the feds were concerned about teenaged traffic fatalities from drunk driving, so they passed a law where any state that doesn't have a drinking age of 21 doesn't get as much funding for roads and shit.

The Feds didn't care until a Karen pressure group called MADD convinced Reagan that pandering to them would be an easy election win, and then Ronnie bent the Constitution into a pretzel to blackmail states into line by threatening to withhold interstate funding unless they agreed. It was a classic case of overreach, but Dems have the spine of a jellyfish when it comes to standing on principle in the face of Karens.

There’s more public support for raising the minimum age for driving, voting, and military service than there is for lowering the drinking age.

There also isn’t a big push in either direction because the generations are shrinking, the economy is not only terrible but also each successive generation has been less prosperous. The soonest anything will change will be for the kids or grandkids of Gen Alpha.

i, for one, have no need for alcohol and think all the world's alcohol supply should evaporate instantaneously. i also hope all the world's crude oil evaporates in the same instance so we can stop fucking depending on it and getting into wars over it.

I do think it might be better if it was 18. I drank as a teen quite heavily. Not being able to get alcohol legally had no impact on my drinking except that I was more likely to get into sketchy situations like going off alone with older people who could give me alcohol, or staying in a toxic friendship in my late teens with someone because they bought us drinks. I think going to a bar would have been safer! I actually cut down on drinking a lot once I was 21 and could buy alcohol myself, and later ended up stopping (it's just not for me). This is just based on my own experience though, not an actual policy opinion, idk what the actual effect of changing the drinking age would be.
