At age 21, in the United States, you are legally allowed to purchase and consume alcohol, gamble in casinos, and adopt a child without restrictions. Keep in mind that laws can vary by country and state.
In New York, you are legally considered an adult at the age of 18.
The age that you become an adult ranges anywhere between 14-21 around the world. The most common age is 18. The age of majority is also 18 in the United States, however, one must legally be 21 to drink alcohol. Some states also have slightly higher ages of majority, ranging from 19-21. Currently, Mississippi is the only state that recognizes age 21 as the age of majority, but some states (such as texas) have an age of majority of 18 but recognize anyone under 21 as a "minor".
The age at which one legally becomes an adult was reduced from 21 to 18 on July 1, 1971. This change was established through the 26th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which granted 18-year-olds the right to vote, lowering the voting age from 21 to 18.
Mississippi changed its child emancipation age from 18 to 21 in 2012 with the passage of Senate Bill 2594. This means that individuals in Mississippi are now legally recognized as adults at the age of 21.
In New York State, parents are legally responsible for their children until they reach the age of 21, providing for their support, maintenance, and education.
