Yes, they broke the rules. But only a fool blindly submits to rules simply because they are rules. The 21 year old drinking age is stupid. As is punishing people for violating it. Punishments should be proportional to the offense. There are many people who argue that as long as you knew of the consequences, you were stupid for doing what you did to break the rules. But this could be applied to anything. An extreme example is cutting off the hands of thieves. The fact that something is a rule doesn't make it right.
