The cost of a beer the year you turned 21...
For me (1971): Price of a 16-oz beer: $0.29 https://stacker.com/food-drink/cost-...-you-turned-21 |

When I actually turned 21, or when I had some random piece of paper that SAID I was 21? I was able to use a pencil on my learner's permit to be 21, go into bars, and buy at local stores.

Was everywhere 18 and then 21? Or were some states 21 all the time?

19 is the magic age here in Canukistan. I was the designated purchaser for our crew from the age of 16. All the others got carded every time they tried. I don't think I've been carded more than a dozen times my whole life.

Funny though, I was 14 years old and went to a club out in the Hamptons with my older cousins. I strutted in, head up high and no one questioned me. They were old enough to get in but they got carded. We were just laughing about this a few weeks ago.

There was a teacher at our high school who was always voted as the senior class advisor, because he owned a bar in a neighboring town and would buy any senior from our school their first drink on their 18th birthday. Of course we should all be telling that click-bait pricing site's author to get off our collective lawns, for basing the chart on age 21 like a young whipper-snapper.....

Bought my first alcoholic drink at a "private club" in El Paso when I was 20. Tom Collins. Puked my guts out. Heh! But hey, we were just Private E-1 trainee pukes who didn't know shit.

I completely forgot that we went from 18 to 19 before we went to 21. The signs in the bars stating how old you had to be in order to drink read like disclaimers.

I'm attributing this to you already being 19+ when that silliness happened, and not because of memory loss from old age.....

That never happened at our house. Mom would smack us just as quick and hard as dad would.

You know you're old when...
You overhead your mom tell your dad that the rabbit died.
