The National Minimum Drinking Age Act is perhaps the law that has the most impact on the day-to-day lives of Americaâs youth since it was signed into law on July 17, 1984. While the 21-year-old drinking age seems embedded in American society, it is only a recent innovation.
These states are: Alabama, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. The minimum drinking age is a state law, and most states still permit underage consumption of alcohol in some circumstances.he act was expressly upheld as constitutional in 1987 by the United States Supreme Court in South Dakota v. Dole. The United States is one of only five developed countries in the world that has a nationwide drinking age of over 18, with the other four being South Korea (19), Canada (19), Iceland (20), and Japan (20).
