Views on raising beer drinking age debate in Wisconsin Senate
The Wisconsin Senate committee debated raising the minimum beer drinking age to 21 with three bills on the table. Senator Ernest Keppler proposed two 21 age options, one immediate and one in three years, while a Legislative Council bill favors a 19 year minimum and scrapping local option. Clergy and parents joined Keppler, who argued the 18 to 21 shift mirrors a "junior Volstead Act" and would be hard to enforce, while Rev. Thomas K. Chaffee urged keeping 18 for now and warned of driving youth underground.
