When I was in high school, the drinking age was 18. It was loosely enforced and I never had to borrow an ID to get beer.

the license you had to drive were not good enough to prove you weren't out after curfew, only a draft card worked for that. Harassment, pure and simple.

For beer purchases at 16. Back during the time when a cop caught you with beer, it was confiscated, only.
