He was legally drinking at their age.

In the mid-60s in Connecticut, drinking age was 21. The bars in New Haven were pretty careful, but college parties tended to be pretty boozy with no attempts to stop the drinking. Those that wanted the party scene in bars usually went to New York state, where the drinking age was 18.

These are not things I learned from reading a book.

Sorry to hear you can't read........ :)
