Kids, don't throw away those fake IDs; proposal to let 19- and 20-year-olds drink in Louisiana has been spiked


Sen. Eric LaFleur on Tuesday withdrew one of the most talked-about bills of the legislative session ? his proposal to allow 19- and 20-year-olds to drink legally ? amid fears that the state could lose federal highway funds.

LaFleur, D-Ville Platte, said he thought his bill, which would have required parental consent and alcohol education courses, would have led to more responsible drinking.

But state officials and other lawmakers said the state risked losing up to $600 million in highway construction funds under federal laws meant to encourage safer driving.
