Some other things I just thought of. Drive ins, always good for a first date. You could rent hotels as a teenager as long as you had a drivers license. When did that all change? Shlitz stout and Mickey Big Mouths.

Lol @Mickey's. Forgot all about that one.
I don't know. I know I and some buddies rented a couple suites at the Residence Inn (i think that was the one) for prom and it was no big deal. So sometime after '86?
And yeah, most of the time the cops would just tell everyone to go home. They would basically give you the choice: "You can go home right now, or you can go to jail, right now." Even drunk/angry kids back then picked going home over going to jail 99% of the time.
Now, dumbasses try to argue with the cops, try to piss then off intentionally (some grown-ass adults as well these days), fight with them, etc. it's like no one ever told them "don't fight with the cops in the streets because they have guns. Take them to court instead."
