History

Historical Context

The National Minimum Drinking Age Act, enacted in 1984, raised the legal drinking age to 21 to combat alcohol-related traffic fatalities, which accounted for nearly 30% of U.S. road deaths. Organizations like Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), founded in 1980 after a tragic drunk driving incident, have since advocated for stricter DUI laws, highlighting the ongoing need for improved road safety.
