Question of the Day — 30 Jul 2009

My brothers and I are coming out for a 21st birthday in late July. If he turns 21 on the 21st, can he start drinking at midnight, legally?

Yes. If he's carrying accepted photo ID (drivers license, passport, military ID etc.) that confirms he was born 21 years or more prior to that date, he may legally start drinking (and/or buy alcohol) at the stroke of midnight PST.

Whether he will be allowed into an alcohol-serving venue prior to midnight will depend on the nature of the venue (bar, nightclub, restaurant, showroom etc.) and the discretion/integrity of the staff.

Wherever you end up celebrating, we wish him a happy 21st. Have fun but please party responsibly. If you're all drinking, make sure to take public transport, a taxi, a limo (heck, it's his 21st!), or call designated drivers on 702/456-RIDE (7433).
