One of the counties around here raised the minimum age to buy tobacco to 19.

You shouldn't be able to vote that young, IMO. Nobody has a clue when they're 18, myself included. (years ago)

When I was 18, you could buy beer.

Oh, and now you can go to the local drive in and watch the pron flicks.

For instance in MN gambling in casinos and buying lottery tickets is 18. It's 21 here in AZ though...so it can be different in different places.

Here in Florida the Miccosukee Indian reservations allow gambling at age 18, and I'm not sure but I think some of the casino ships also allow it in international waters.

Now you can own property. Congratulations.

Buy a gun through a private party.

"Currently, federal law prohibits federally licensed firearms dealers from selling handguns to persons under 21. However, a loophole in federal law allows the private sale of handguns to persons between the ages of 18 and 20. Only 12 states prohibit such sales to juveniles. Most states do not even require a background check for private sales to people under 21."

That should take some time off your hands

You can no longer watch Hermione innocently.

 

[SmoochyTX]

Pat yourself on the back for living so long. You should hope you live at least to 36 now.

 

[bctbct]

Uh...depending on the state, yes he can.

Actually he can have sex with anyone younger than him anywhere...maybe not legally, but he could.

Start building credit - grab a CC *now* and start building it.

The only duty that matters when you turn 18.

edit: GOD DAMNIT

I phrased it better than eldorado99 though

 

[kamikaze27]

Nothing really changes when you hit 18. Everything yuo can legally do when you are 18 I expect you have done already.

If you waited to be 18 before you did anything v18, then you've lost out on some excitement.

Yes, he can. If he can physically do it, he can do it. However, he may have to face some undesirable consequences.
