Wife and I just had this conversation about drinking in the US. Legal drinking age is 21. So if you're born Feb 29th, can you drink on the 28th? No. If your birthday is January 2nd, you can't drink on January 1st. Only makes sense to me that it'd be March 1st, but I'm born in Dec, so not really my choice or opinion that matters. :-D Just saying.
