When did the legal drinking age in Alabama from 21 to 19?
August 1, 1987. Previous to this purchase of beer ONLY was legal to those born before August 1, 1968; they were "grandfather claused" in. This means there was a period of time in Ohio where one 19 year old could continue to buy beer, while one born the same year would be denied.
I know this firsthand because I was born July 7, 1968; I was able to buy beer at 19, while several of my friends the exact same age could not.
How old do you have to be to move out of the state of Alabama legally?
Well I don't really know much, but I heard that at the age of 17 you are allowed to move out, but I do believe that you must live with someone old enough like 18 or older, and still go to school. If you have a car and it isn't under your name your parents CAN take it away. But I don't know if this is true. I wish someone would answer this question cause I am 17 and I am ready to move out!

The Alabama River was named by early European explorers after the Indian tribe that lived in the territory and first appeared in 1540 spelled as "Alibamu", "Alibamo" and even "Limamu" in the journals of the Spanish explorer Hernando DeSoto (c.1500-1542). The origin of the name Alabama is thought to come from a combination of two Choctaw words; Alba and Amo. In Choctaw, "Alba" means vegetation, herbs, plants and "Amo" means gatherer or picker. "Vegetation gatherers" would be an apt description for the Alabama Indians who cleared much land for agricultural purposes.
