No, underage is the law, and has been for a long time.  In most places,
you cannot legally drink until you're 21.  The cops went after the
business owners who knew the law, but served the booze to the
teenyboppers anyway. This is known as law enforcement. Without law
enforcement, laws are essentially worthless. 

During the riots, the cops essentially stood by while the mostly white
trash, upper middle class punks wreaked havoc and destruction for four
days. When the Boulder Chief of Police said that some of his officers
would have been justified in shooting the rioters, the media went wild. 
I hate to tell you this Timmy, but in some parts of this country, if a
riot of that magnitude took place, the cops would have been the least of
the punks' worries.  A lot of folks west of the Mississippi believe in
protecting themselves and their property with deadly force. In some
other cities, the rioters would have been black, blue and bleeding. 
Believe me, you're better off with an organized police force with
established procedures for law enforcement.  Guys like you definitely
wouldn't like the alternative.
