Pennsylvania has always been a 21 state. At least as long as I remember. I was born in 1958 and never knew anything but 21 as the drinking age. West Virginia and Ohio we 18 states but has 3.2% beer for under 21.

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 minimum drinking age became 21 in all 50 U.S. states by 1986.
