I'm a little too young to remember this, but wasn't this what happened in
the U.S. in the 1980s ? I remember hearing from others that the drinking
age was raised to 21 during that period; before it had been 18.
of course, the way this is administered makes one wish for physical
credentials without identity. you don't need to see everything on my
driver's license (prominently emblazoned with "UNDER 21") to know
that I'm not allowed to drink...
