In some circumstances, parents may have legal authority over their children until they turn 18. However, in cases where a child is still financially dependent on their parents or has special needs, they may have rights to support and care beyond the age of 18. This would typically involve legal arrangements such as guardianship or power of attorney.

Is it legal to drink with a 21 year old spouse if you are not 21 yet?

No, not legally. If the law states the legal drinking age is 21, then one has to be 21 in order to legally consume it, no matter who bought it or serves it. In the state of Texas you can legally drink at 13 or older so long as you are in the eye sight of your parent, guardian, and/or spouse. And the parent/guardian/spouse must be at least 21. Also the parent/guardian/spouse must order the drink then give the drink to you. However the establishment has the right to refuse.

Should people under 21 need a parents consent for tattoos or cosmetic surgery?

In most places people over 18 do not need parents' consent. The question is, when are people old enough to make responsible decisions about their bodies? Perhaps it is earlier than 21 or 18. If a parent is legally responsible for their children until they are the age of 18, then it is in a parent's best interest to be on top of what their child is doing to their bodies.
