When the 21 year old restriction was put on the drinking age, no one was excluded. There is no grandfathering when it comes to the drinking age.
There is no need for the drinking age to be raised to 21 because at age 21 is when most peoples brains are done developing. Also age 21 has been the drinking age since 1984 so they wouldn't change it 26 years later.
Prior to 1972 the minimum drinking age was 21 in Michigan. Michigan lowered the minimum drinking age from 21 to 18 in 1972, raised it from 18 to 19 in 1978, and raised it from 19 to 21 in 1978.
The legal drinking age in British Columbia is 19.
No, the legal drinking age in the United States is still 21 years old. There have been no recent changes to increase the drinking age to 25.

1973 - this isn't right. I only know NSW & Qld, but in my lifetime there wasn't an Australia wide drinking age. I was born in 1952 and legally drinking in 1970 in NSW, aged 18. Qld was 21 at that time. My father was born 1921 and was also legally drinking at age 18 in NSW.
After the end of prohibition the minimum drinking age in New York was 18. New York State raised its minimum drinking age from 18 to 19 years in 1982 and raised it from 19 to 21 years on December 1, 1985.
