Drug-Free Action Alliance strongly supports all states retaining 21 years old as the legal drinking age for alcoholic beverages. This position is based upon sound science that demonstrates the current laws help protect the health and safety of youth. Minimum Legal Drinking Age (MLDA) laws are the most studied and successful alcohol-related laws on the books.
