Yep. In NY it was changed to 19 just after I turned 19, and then upped to 21 after I had turned 21. :) So in’81 NY went to 19 years old for legal drinking. Hard to believe the South would have done it a decade earlier.
Anyway - maybe the girl lied about her age to seem more mature. That is, providing any of it happened at all.
Most suspicious is finding FOUR women, AT THE SAME TIME, who each have a “history” with Moore. Bullogna
The south did not change until fed dollars were affected.
