I was very young at the time, but I had several cousins who were right around the age of 18. About half of them "made the cut" age wise. I remember vividly one of my cousins being so upset because the law changed a week before his birthday...if it had changed a week later, he would have been grandfathered in also. Instead, he had to wait until 21 to be legal.

Dam. I would have been really really pissed....not like I drank on my 21st or anything (dam MTA strike in NY) but still.
