How it's worked out

The legal drinking age is 21 in every US state (National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984).
Take today's date where you are and go back 21 years. Anyone born on or before that date has turned 21.
The date updates automatically at local midnight, in your device's timezone.
A February 29 birthday counts as February 28 in years without a leap day.
