"They raised the drinking age to 21 and everyone who was above 19 got grandfathered so we could still drink."
I don't recall anybody being grandfathered. Never happened. Nope. I turned 19 at the end of July in '86. September 1st of that year is when drinking age went to 21. I thought I was good since I was 19 before law went into affect. Police officer said otherwise. I was already 21 by 1986, I guess we thought the law was in place before 1986. Pretty darn funny now looking back.........

From this morning. Shocker. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/08/full-69876-428835-img_8856.png) Do they test for more than just alcohol? Like to see if they weed or other drugs in their system?

Lived on the Ks/Mo state line - 18 for near beer in Ks, 21 for anything in Mo. Ks cops made big $ off Mo underage kids. Mo cops usually let the Ks kids off for 'alchol breath'. Marysville Ks got lots of 'under-age' from Ne. Absolutely no reason to drive drunk. But I did learn that Firebirds didn't do well with high speed airborne jumps, as a passenger.

I was clubbing in 1984 and 1985 being under 21

They are "pieces of chit"! The Texas justice system is way to lenient on convicted drunk drivers. They need to pay through the nose and all driving privileges revoked for a long duration (years). There is no excuse for drunk driving today. I think the excuse is I'm drunk but I have a car and I want to go somewhere. We have hundreds of thousands of people in the state of Texas that are illegal aliens driving without a driver's license and who the law rarely punishes when they catch them drinking and driving. Why should laws only be applied stringently against people that are likely to follow them?

Federal law didn't make the drinking age 21. The Feds simply brow beat the states into making the minimum drinking age 21 by threatening to withhold Highway funds.

I have a guy on my crew that got several dwi’s, plus some drug charges in his younger years, he done two years in tdc, two years parol, he is totally clean and sober now, I hope he stays that way, he’s a good worker and dependable.
Personally, i think he learned his lesson.

In Texas we could drink and drive and it was legal, drinking age was like 19 years old.
I never heard of knew of anyone who got into deadly wrecks.
I remember we would go cruising like Forrest Lane in Dallas, and go to Arlington and cruise Cooper street, the Arlington cops would try to give you a ticket for open container but all you had to do was fight the ticket and when it went to Fort Worth it was dropped.
They raised the drinking age to 21 and everyone who was above 19 got grandfathered so we could still drink.
If you were under age 19 and police caught you with beer they would just make you pour it out, they were pretty cool about it.
I guess people are not responsible enough now of days to have a cold one on the way home from work I don't think you have your facts correct in a lot of these sentences and I lived through the 18 law changed to 19 and then to 21.

State law? Not Federal right?
The drinking age did not grandfather to younger than the drinking age because it was previously legal as alleged. It was 18, then raised to 19 and then the United States Congress passed National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 making it 21. States that didn’t comply lost all federal highway funding so they all passed state legislation too making it 21.

Exactly 1984 Federal Law was changed to 21, but since I was 19 when law was passed I was grandfathered in. Texas didn't comply fully with the Federal Law until 1986.
