3.2 beer is available in EM clubs everywhere.

As for the state law determining drinking age in a state, that law was heavily coerced by the socialist Senator of NJ, Frank Lautenberg, back in the early 80s, who chaired the transportation committee at the time, and proclaimed that any state that did not raise the drinking age to 21 would lose all federal highway funding. Several states, including New York, Vermont, Wyoming, Louisiana, and Colorado, who had drinking ages of 18 and 19, instantly raised the drinking age to 21, in fear of this mandate.
That's because so many Jersey kids were drving to Manhattan, getting hammered, and dying in crashes on the way home.

I know. It almost happened to me.
