Prior to the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984, individual U.S. states determined at what age people were allowed to drink. The NMDA legislation required all states to raise their minimum purchase and public possession of alcohol age to 21; however, the Act did not specifically set a legal age for drinking.

Minors (those under the age of 21) are permitted to drink under special circumstances, such as when accompanied by a parent or spouse over the age of 21, or when prescribed for medical purposes by a licensed physician.
