There's no federal law that raises the drinking age to 21. However, buried withing congressional transportation appropriation bills are riders which specify any state without a drinking age of 21 will not receive money highway funds. I believe Lousiania is the only state with an 18 drinking age.

Yes, I am quite aware. It just bothers me that there are people out there who actually think that there is as law, and that its not just bribery and blackmail at the tax-payer's expense.

We just raised to ours to 21. And it was under the threat of losing our Federal highway funds.
