What is MLDA?
MLDA stands for Minimal Legal Drinking Age.
History of MLDA:
1. These changes occurred when the minimum age for other activities, such as voting, also were being lowered.
2. With evidence that a lower drinking age resulted in more traffic injuries and fatalities among youth, citizen advocacy groups pressured states to restore the MLDA to 21.
