The S.C. Senate is likely to agree with the House on raising the drinking age for beer and wine to 20, Rep. Joyce Hearn said. The bill would raise the drinking age for beer and wine to 19 the first year and to 2C the second. By raising the age in stages, the 18- and 19-year-olds gradually become used to the new law and merchants have time tc aujusi lUVCUlUI IC5>, MIC 5>aiu. The Senate will be pushing to raise the age to 21, she said. j THE GENERAL Assembly passed legisla tion last week making it illegal to have oper ? beer and wine containers in a moving vehicle Until this bill was passed, Hearn said, "yoi could do everything with a beer that yoi could do with a Coke." i ne din iook live years 10 pass panr because drinking beer while driving, especial ly after a day of hunting or on the way to < sporting event, has been considered a tradi tion in South Carolina, Hearn said. | But all that changed this legislative sessioi 1 as the bill passed with minimal resistance and this is one reason why Hearn said sh believes the drinking age will be raised evei * though "it is not palatable legislation."

THE FEDERAL government is partially responsible for this change, she said. "Federally, a war has been declared on substance abuse.
