Actually, the National Minimum Drinking Age Act did not specifically ban the consumption alcohol by minors, only the purchasing of it. Different states modified it, some to include consumption. The bill would never have gone through at all of course without huge campaigns by MADD, and it really does little to nothing to curb the efforts of stupid teenagers to damage themselves. Big hoopla for the nanny state is all it is.
