Really? Outside the US, it doesn't seem to be a big deal...
In the Philippines it is when you can get married without written parental consent, you still have to prove that you officially informed parents of intent to marry giving a cool off and talk out of period up, to 25
College would be a rite of passage anyway. Some students are finishing their last year of college when they turn 21, so drinking age doesn't have anything to do with it. Getting accepted to a university and leaving home, making that transition from childhood in the parental home to living more independently are the rite of passage. Graduation from highschool is a rite of passage. Graduation from college and transitioning into the adult work world, even more so.
Kids start drinking before 21 though. But still college should not be a passage either. By the time you get to college, you should already have passed through. College is not suppose to be another high school. Of course that is what it has turned into though.
Biology. Seven years. At 7 you become a child, at 14 you become an adolescent, at 21, you become an adult. There is so much literature on this subject...

I thought it was 18 when you are officially an adult.
The # 21 seems to be a popular number, once people turn 21 in age the birthday party is a big bash, I hear alot of old people saying they wish they were 21 again?
I would say physical prime. Guys and girls are there. Nothing more smokin than a 23 yr female, nothing.

In the United States you can sign legal documents, vote, smoke and consent to sex. In many places you can consent to sex at a lower age then 18. However you can not but tobacco products in California. You can not buy or drink alcoholic beverages. so you have a partial majority until the age of 21. For most of the world 18 is the age of majority.
In the Catholic Church the age would be 18 unless the local government set a higher age.
