Disputed beer sale before high court
Oklahoma District Court rejected a sex discrimination challenge to a state beer age law that allowed 18 year old males to drink while 21 was required for females.

The case tests whether women can use the same legal tools as minorities to strike down discriminatory policies. The lower court had upheld the law citing traffic risk differences, while the Supreme Court weighed broader implications.
