Louisiana's Drinking Age Change and Federal Funding
Louisiana's drinking age was changed from 18 to 21 due to the condition set by the federal government for receiving funding. However, the state later challenged this requirement and reverted back to a drinking age of 18. This change led to an increase in drunk driving incidents, causing concerns about the impact on public safety. Over time, Louisiana remains the only state with a drinking age of 18, despite previous federal intervention.
