In the middle 1970's there was a Federal law that made it legal for 18 year olds to drink anywhere in the country. This law lasted for about two years and then it was discovered that the sudden increase in highway fatalities was directly attributable to 18-21 year old alchohol consumption. The law was repealed.

I was legally able to drink in Texas in the 4 years I was in college there from 1976 to 1980.

On September 1, 1981, the drinking age in Texas was raised from 18 to 19, with no "grandfather clause." In 1984, in compliance with a federal mandate, it was raised to 21.
