The minimum purchase and drinking age is a state law. Each individual U.S. state establishes by law the minimum age at which an individual may purchase alcoholic beverages. The U.S. Government passed the National Minimum Drinking Age Act on July 17, 1984. This did not change the drinking age. However, it forced the individual states to establish the minimum drinking age as 21 or lose 10% of their federal highway funding. The act was expressly upheld as constitutional in 1987 by the United States Supreme Court in South Dakota v. Dole. The minimum drinking age is 21 in all 50 U.S. states.
