This song is now old enough to drink. Not that it would per se: because weed.

Semi off topic: Has the drinking age always been 21 in USA or was it changed at some point?

It wasn't consistent across states until 1984 - when it got set at the Federal level.

The age restrictions in USA seem odd to me. Start driving a car at 16, fine. Drink alcohol when you're 18? How about no! I would think pretty much everyone who wants to drink would do so before hitting 21.

I rather like the German model: hard spirits later, but milder alcohols at 14 (IIRC). That way, the beer tradition stays alive, people learn their limits/their extent of effects, and alcohol doesn't build the sort of mystique it often does in the US.

Yeah, we have a bit similar thing here in Finland hard spirits at 21 rest at 18. Although it's difficult to find many people who haven't been drinking at earlier age. And some hard spirits are pretty popular amongst teenagers.

Actually, in 1995, 18 year olds could drink in Louisiana. That was a glorious summer (I turned 18 in May '95, drove to Louisiana MANY times from Texas).

Additionally it was standardized so that states could get sweet sweet federal money.
