    It was political blackmail by DC to the states. They did the same thing with the seat belt laws.

    Just found the info for the state of Louisiana:

    1987:
    Raised to 21 de jure in 1987,[8]
    but de facto age was still 18 until 1995 due to a sale loophole.
    1995:
    De facto age raised to 21 in 1995 when loophole was closed.[39]
    1996:
    In 1996, briefly lowered by Louisiana Supreme Court to 18 until it reversed its decision, raising to 21 three months later.[40]
    Other exceptions still remain.[41]

    That's not the whole story in Louisiana.

    Public possession does not include consumption or possession of an alcoholic beverage:
    • For an established religious event or purpose,
    • When a person under 21 is accompanied by his or her parent, spouse, or legal guardian who is 21 years or older,
    • In a private residence, or
    • When a person under 21 handles, dispenses, sells, or transports an alcoholic beverage during the course of lawful employment by a licensed retailer, wholesaler, or manufacturer.

    Obvious solution to the MIP tickets at Hideaway Park -- Students should have one or more of their parents accompany them for the pregame activities.

    I turned 18 in June 1995 and could legally purchase alcohol. 3 months later I couldn't.

    The bolded one could -- that's if each of the fraters were "accompanied by his or her parent, spouse, or legal guardian who is 21 years or older".

I believe I was 23 when they raised the age to 21 so I never felt any of the affects of the law, as a matter of fact, being 16 in my part of the world pretty much got you anything you wanted.
    My experience as well.

    When I first attended Tech, we had to go to Grambling to buy alcohol of any kind and the closest bars were Ed & Mary's or Moon's in Ouachita Parish. I don't remember what year, but alcohol was allowed to be sold in Ruston after it was discovered that the no alcohol policy was never voted on. Bars were opened and allowed to sell liquor for a while. When the public vote was held, sale of alcohol was limited to beer (3.2%). Seems like one could purchase wine coolers but not wine.

We do this kind of stuff, and then we wonder why our kids turn out to be Snowflakes.
    Was that when the law was changed to include "possession" as well?
