In TX, you don't even have to cross the county line, you can have wet and dry towns within the same county.

no they aren't. that story is false. they aren't looking to change the age to 25

There's a bet you would lose.

There is already a bar in New York City where you have to be 25

Brooklyn Bar Raises Weekend Drinking Age To 25



Bloomberg successfully raised the smoking age to 21 this week, meaning young people who want to exercise their right to destroy their own fragile lungs will have to wait an additional three years for the privilege. But at least the drinking age will remain sacred, right? Not necessarily.



One Brooklyn bar is setting a dangerous precedent for young revelers by raising the weekend drinking age to 25


But the best solution, it seems, would be simply to raise the drinking age to 75. In general, elderly limbs are less effective at hurling bottles, and most septuagenarians prefer to save their dwindling lung capacity for shouting at youths to get off their lawn.

im amazed every-time i am reminded that there are still dry counties in this country.

Must not have spent much time in the South. Yea, there are a few counties north of the MD line that are dry, but i bet you can count them on one hand.
I would say probably alot of Utah is dry as another exception.

Well, heck here we go.

Looks like Utah isn't dry. I guess they like money more than they dislike alcohol.

In my state, anybody under the age of 30 is carded, even if it's a group of 10 people and only 1 is buying the alcohol. Pretty sure it's the law.

So what if your teenage son/daughter doesn't have a state/government issued ID?
