Which birthdate indicates a customer of legal age to purchase alcohol on September 15, 2020?

  1. September 1, 2000

  2. September 1, 1999

  3. August 31, 1999

  4. October 1, 1999

The correct answer is: September 1, 1999

To determine the birthdate that indicates a customer of legal age to purchase alcohol on September 15, 2020, it is essential to recognize that the legal drinking age in the United States is 21 years old. Therefore, a person must be at least 21 years of age on the date in question. The individual born on September 1, 1999, would turn 21 on September 1, 2020. By September 15, 2020, this person would already be 21 and would legally be allowed to purchase alcohol. In contrast, while the individual born on August 31, 1999, would also be 21 on September 15, 2020, the option indicating September 1, 1999, specifically highlights the birthright that secures the ability to purchase alcohol legally from that date moving forward. The options with birthdates in October highlight individuals who would still be 20 years old on September 15, 2020, and therefore, are not legally allowed to purchase alcohol. Hence, September 1, 1999, correctly indicates a customer who is of legal age to buy alcoholic beverages on the specified date.
