it was legal to drink beer at 18 then. On Fridays, we would drive to Golden (25 MIN.) get in the back of the line for a tour of the Coors brewery, and cutout of the line to the door of the hospitality room, where they served free beer. Fun times, also my frat house and a Sorority house would have functions together. The favorite was a woodesy, we would drive 10 mins up to a camping area in the mountains with a keg of beer have a few beers pair up with a gal walk up a slight hill throw a blanket down and make out. This was in 1957.
