Do you have a source? That’s never been the story I’ve been told. MADD and a few other groups lobbied for the age to be 21 and they tied it to federal highway funds. It’s one of the reason Louisiana had really bad roads, they held out for longer or so the story goes. Mandatory airbags and seatbelts happened at the same time but MADD was focused on the alcohol part. 21-24 year olds had the highest rate of drunk driving but 37 year olds were the most to die in alcohol related crashes.[1]1993 https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1993/4/10/reagans-sober-legacy-pbtbhe-reagan-years/ https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1993/4/10/reagans-sober-l...
