Twenty one birthday wishes

Let’s be honest: 21st birthdays are all about the booze. In the United States, 21 is the age at which you can legally drink alcohol, and by extension, get into bars, clubs, and other places where liquor is served. Not only is this a coveted privilege for young people, but it represents the last significant marker on the path to adulthood.

That said, a good 21st birthday wish doesn’t have to mention alcohol. Not everyone is interested in drinking, and for one reason or another, it’s not always appropriate to joke about boozing it up. For some wording ideas – both alcoholic and non – check out the following list of ways to wish someone a Happy 21st Birthday.
