Over Eighteen, Over Twenty-One

Explanation:
The Legal Age to be considered an adult varies from country to country.
In Portugal it is eighteen.
In the US, it varies according to circumstances and each State.
But for the most part it is eighteen for social and economic rights and responsibilities, and twenty-one is for comsumption of alcoholic beverages.
The safest bet is to tell how old the person is.
