I was the same age as the author of this story and the drinking age was still 21 in 1968! I graduated in '69 ( celebrated with a kegger out at a gravel Pitt ), went to college in Missoula 69-70 and turned 18 that Fall. Drinking age was still 21. I'm not positive when it changed to 18 and 19 but remember that I was upset because I had already had my birthday so couldn't go out and have my Big Drinking Age party and I wasn't 21 yet either! We had keggers to celebrate end of football, basketball seasons, prom, graduation and just for the fun of it! Great memories!
