MGD64 is a 3.2% beer, one of the ways that they got the calorie count down. It's nearly impossible for a 200lb man to get drunk on on the stuff but 120lb kids would. But not too bad. Training wheels.

Ohio had a special 3.2% alcohol beer that 18 yo's could buy (What's the point?), but was otherwise in line with everyone else.

In California the legal drinking age was 21. Not to say that some kids under 21 didn't imbibe at parties. I never did of course, I was a nice boy. ;-) Ref. from the American Medical Association web site: "Minimum Legal Drinking Age After Prohibition, nearly all states restricting youth access to alcohol designated 21 as the minimum legal drinking age (MLDA). Between 1970 and 1975, however, 29 states lowered the MLDA to 18, 19, or 20. " see: http://tinyurl.com/cwj4vs I believe it is still 21 in California although I'm not sure. It's been a very long time since I was 21 so I don't pay much attention. Doug Charlene, I was alive and well in 1965 (and in high school). In California the legal drinking age was 21.

Ref. from the American Medical Association web site:

“Minimum Legal Drinking Age

After Prohibition, nearly all states restricting youth access to alcohol designated 21 as the minimum legal drinking age (MLDA). Between 1970 and 1975, however, 29 states lowered the MLDA to 18, 19, or 20. ”

I believe it is still 21 in California although I’m not sure. It’s been a very long time since I was 21 so I don’t pay much attention.

Also, well over half of couples had sex before marriage, and not just in 1965: in 1865 something like 80% of first babies in Scotland were born less than seven months after the wedding. The big difference in the 60s is that they had the pill - but it was still hard to find a doctor willing to prescribe it to an unmarried woman. Yes, even in the 60s. So her decision has to take into consideration the possibility of an unwanted pregnancy and even of complications of pregnancy, which in the 1960s were far more common than they are now. As an aside, I love how she's more worried about his dumb lines than he is about the fact that he went whoring. Doug, in 1965 the legal drinking age was not 21 but 18 in most US states.

Imagine, you young people out there, this was a conversation your parents or GRANDPARENTS probably had. Eeewwwwww! Old people sex!! (except they were not old then). Hey, you didn't get here by immaculate conception, kiddo. Some couple just like Dick and Alice got horny and went at it like ferrets or you wouldn't be here now. And yes, whether or not to "go all the way" was a real debate for young couples. Should still be if they have any brains. I wonder if Dick still thinks Alice is hot and does Alice secretly wish she'd have "gone all the way" with the other bozo instead of the Dick she married?
