21st Birthday Quotes
Not only are you old enough to drink, but you're on your way to bigger and better things at the cusp of your 20s. It is time to celebrate youth, vitality, and the freedom that comes with being older.

However, as you might have seen, the compilation listed above, also consists of quotes for birthdays that come before/after this milestone. The most exciting part about turning 21 is the fact that you are legally allowed to drink and celebrate being on the brink of adulthood, however, don't go overboard with the booze, and yes, beware of friends who will leave no tables unturned to drown you in a barrel of beer. Nonetheless, make sure you enjoy every bit of it!
