Speed limits are generally established by state governments, as states have the authority to regulate traffic and set laws pertaining to road safety. In contrast, the legal drinking age is set at the federal level, with the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 mandating that states enforce a minimum drinking age of 21. States can impose stricter regulations, but they cannot set a lower drinking age than what is federally mandated.
