Ohio raises beer drinking age to 21 to save highway funds
Ohio leaders move to raise the minimum drinking age from 19 to 21 to avoid losing federal highway funds. The plan, tied to a $2.4 billion highway bill, follows a Supreme Court ruling upholding withholding funds from states not setting 21 as the national drinking age. Officials warn the timing may delay implementation past July 1, 1987.
