      Mother's Against Drunk Driving has been a powerful social force, which had a spillover effect in reducing drinking across the board.

          this seems a likely as any explanation! Though trend starts way too early for it to really sync

          That is an interesting hypothesis -- do you know of any social science research on that subject? If so, it would be a fascinating example of a group that achieved both specific policy changes and changed the culture.

          DARE was founded in '83 (which may be more a sign of increased focus on teen drinking as a problem than the solution to that problem).

          I doubt DARE was going to Georgetown Prep. They only went to where they could get kids to narc out their parents and friends.

          National drinking age law was in 1984. Pushed by MADD.

          Drinking age raised in 1984-1986 to 21, which meant Seniors were less able to buy booze and give it to their underage friends.

          As a ‘survivor’ of that era (HS class of ‘86) I think this rings true. Also parenting: those crazy parties always happened when parents went on vacation sans kids.

          Or it could be, pot is legal in certain states now.
