Many states established the legal age of 21 for the purchasing or drinking of alcohol after Prohibition was repealed in 1933. The Federal Minimum Drinking Age Act was passed in 1984, which required states to establish a minimum age for a person to purchase and have public possession of alcohol. All states now set the age for such acts at 21. Several states do not have established grounds or procedures relating to minors drinking in their home or other private homes, especially if they have the permission of the adults present. Such a discrepancy is the reason why adults are often charged with violations such as "corruption of the morals of an underage person" instead of providing alcohol to minors.

Was 21 ever the legal age limit?

Yes, 21 was historically the legal drinking age in the United States prior to the 1980s. However, in 1984, the National Minimum Drinking Age Act was passed, which mandated that states raise and enforce the minimum legal drinking age to 21. This law aimed to reduce drunk driving incidents among young people and has largely remained in effect since then. Before this change, some states had lower legal drinking ages, often ranging from 18 to 20.
