When the drinking age changed to 21, people who were already "legal" under the old law were grandfathered in. So, they didn't lose a privilege that they already had.
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.
