Isn’t drinking age an issue handled by each state?

Isn’t drinking age an issue handled by each state? Yes, it is, but with federal coercion. Any state that does not have a minimum drinking age of 21 doesn't receive federal highway funds.

Held hostage like other things by federal funding, so they all raised it.

The fedgov bullied them all into 21 using highway funding.

Drinking alcohol isn’t a constitutional right. Bearing arms is.

That is the theory. In practice if a state allows under 21 drinking they will be threatened with loss of federal highway funding.
Feds use federal funding like a hammer to get states to conform.
