Re: Undeage on posstion of alochol

The laws prohibiting possession of alcohol by minors first went into effect in the 1930s, following the repeal of Prohibition. See generally http://www.drugtext.org/library/articles/craig100.htm .

Section 4.1-305 of the Code of Virginia was enacted in 1950. http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+4.1-305 .
