Because it's against the law of the United States Goverment.

Drinking ages are up to the individual states. When Ronald Reagan was president several states had lowerd the drinking age to 18 or 19. Reagan threatened to withhold federal highway funds from states if they did not increase the drinking age to 21.

How do you play beer pong?

You need an 8ft long table, and 10 party cups for each side. Make them into a pyramid shape with 2 or 3 beer for each side. You need two ping pong balls. You can have 2 to a team, or just singles. "You sink it, you drink it" If you air a ball, you drink a cup. If both teamates make it in the same cup, they drink 3 cups. If the teamates both make it but different cups, drink both and they get balls back. If you bounce it into a cup, they have to drink 2 cups. Remember to drink responsibly.

Can you be over the drink drive limit drinking alcohol free beer?

Technically, alcohol free beer doesn't exist. Most contain about .05% alcohol, compared to 4-6% for an average beer. So, the average 175 lb person would be over the legal limit if they were to drink three beers in a relatively short amount of time. To achieve the same amount of alcohol from "near beer", you would need to drink ten times as much. So the alcohol in 3 beers, equals the alcohol in 30 "non-alcohol" beers.
