Abstract:

The modern history of alcoholic beverage control dates from the ratification of the 18th Amendment. The age limits established in the 1930s remained 18 and 21 for beer and spirituous liquors respectively, until the 1980s when rising concern over fatalities prompted a change in the drinking age to 21. The North Carolina General Assembly adopted the legal drinking age of 21 in 1985 to avoid a 5 percent loss of federal highway funds.

Abstract:

Zog’s is a weird, quirky dive bar located close to the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill campus. Due to its location, under-aged students often try to use fake identification. This jeopardizes staff livelihoods because the consequences tend to fall on the bar, rather than on the falsifier.

Abstract:

When the drinking age was raised to 21 in the late 1980s, student riots were expected. As for the location where the riots erupted, it was not in the expected location. It was also a case of ECU not living up to the party reputation it had gained during this decade.
