Well, both congressman and members of the state legislature. The fact that the drinking age is 21 is the result of laws passed by the individual states, however this was the result of armtwisting by the US Congress, where a state would lose 10 percent of its money from the Highway funding allocation if it didn't make 21 the drinking age (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?...inking_Age_Act)
