In 1983, Wisconsin changed the legal drinking age from 18 to 19, and then, in 1986, the state bumped up the legal drinking age to 21 after the federal government mandated that any state with a younger drinking age would lose federal highway funds.

Were you a legal drinker at 18 or 19? In retrospect, do you think you were mature enough to handle alcohol consumption, or do you think 21-year-olds make better choices and are, in general, more responsible?

Sound-off, wise Milwaukeeans, who were legal before 21 or anyone that has an opinion about Wisconsin’s drinking age.

I think 18 is a fair age for legal drinking. If you can vote and go to war, you should be able to drink.

The drinking age should be 19. This way, high school kids aren’t able to buy alcohol, yet the law honors the adult status of people under the age of 20.

Keep it at 21. Technically, people are adults at 18, but really, most people are still pretty immature at this age. By 21, most have started to grow up a little bit, and usually make better choices.
