As an authority on high school life in 1976 I concur.

And in 1976 the legal age for booze in Minnesota was 18. You could go to a bar for lunch and then go back to shop class.

You’re absolutely right. Just watched this movie the other night and it completely encapsulates that year/era. Perfect.

16 1/2 years old to get a license in Massachusetts...I graduated in 1979 from East Bridgewater High (high) I made sure of it you might say.....you could have a warrant out in an adjacent county and they didn’t have the technology to find out...way more fun and free without being paranoid ...I saw and still do see things this way....Not a matter of growing up but keeping your freedom.....

Different times. We got pulled with a case of beer by two undercover cops. “Gentlemen, you have two choices, you can go downtown and get booked for under age possession of alcoholic beverage or you can feed it to the gutter”. We dumped it, they left and we drove to the grocery and re-stocked and proceeded to the party.

Same here ... where I watch that movie I'm instantly transported back (need to watch it this weekend!).

I knew the real world counterparts for each of the characters.

And run and hide from the single police helicopter whose only technology in the 70’s was a flood light.

My kid saw the movie at college. “Is that what it was really like back then?”

Yep.
