Southeastern Louisiana Attendance

[John Cocktolstoy]

I'm talking about the 7-11. I was most definitely buying my own beer legally in 1989

I like KK graduated and turned 18 in 1987 and remember the law changing right before I turned 18. Bars had some kind of loop holes the Albertsons of the world did not.

Maybe it was different in Assumption Parish. Most things are.

It was a state law that not all local governments enforced the same that is for certain.

[Crawfish]

Wow, talk about thread drift, this one went right off a cliff. But I guess it is summertime.

[CajunNation]

Neat story, but I don’t think legal drinking age was 18 in 1988.

Oh, yes it was. It didn't change until the 90's.

[KajunKrazy]

Nope. I turned 18 October of my first fall semester in 1987 and it had changed before my 18th birthday. Trust me I know. I still had to use my fake ID in several places.

[JamesTheJeweler]

I believe it changed in '85 or '86

[CajunEXPRESS]

All I can say is 14 and some kind of id for the Southern Club in Opelousas, and 12 and up at the Evangeline Club in Ville Platte. We’d get small stars like Fats Domino to play. I can’t recall a single fatality from my area due to under age drinking.

Buying my own beer since 9th grade....only in Louisiana, only at Stutes Bar...

Only a real Cajun would know Ferdinand Stute’s Place

[CrazyCajun]

It changed more than once, 18 to 21 then briefly back to 18 in the early 90’s then back to 21

It was a place in the county as I recall.

back on track since we are less than 4 weeks away, I predict 20,000 with a good turn out from our friends to the east
