I think a bigger question may be? kentuck Oct 2018 #1

He turned 18 on February 12, 1983. Maryland raised the age to 21 in 1982. NEVER LEGAL! TheBlackAdder Oct 2018 #50

So he was drinking illegally when he was 15, 16 and 17? nt DURHAM D Oct 2018 #2

Do you ? stonecutter357 Oct 2018 #31

Same here. This is misleading ('most' did not imo). triron Oct 2018 #34

Making a big deal out of the fact that he lied about it (and other things) isn't, though. Cuthbert Allgood Oct 2018 #23

Seriously? EffieBlack Oct 2018 #45

Did you lie about it under oath? Then it's nothing like "most of us" is it? (nt) ehrnst Oct 2018 #54

I see your statement has raised some heated discussion. Amimnoch Oct 2018 #55

I didn't either Ms. Toad Oct 2018 #58

The point is he lied under oath. alphafemale Oct 2018 #73

He may have implied that he was legal, but he didn't not say that he was legal. LakeSuperiorView Oct 2018 #27

Fine - HE BROKE THE LAW leftynyc Oct 2018 #32

I agree that he broke the law. But he provably did NOT lie with that statement. LakeSuperiorView Oct 2018 #38

I agree that his whiny, pathetic, hissy fit leftynyc Oct 2018 #52

He explicitly said that the seniors were legal, to create the impression that b/c HE was a senior, Demit Oct 2018 #53

So, it was never legal for him to drink in high school. EffieBlack Oct 2018 #40

He turned 18 in February, so had only four months to legally help drink those 100 kegs. brewens Oct 2018 #41
