) Does this mean you are now 'legal' in the UK? (ie. voting/drinking age, etc...) But I missed his 18th birthday! I wasn't on PF then. So, when I saw it mentioned in that other thread, I just thought I'd start another celebration! What the heck! You can't have too many birthday PARTIES! Right? But, seriously... What is the legal drinking and voting age in the UK? And, for that matter, why DOES the queen have 2 birthdays?? I think the second one is for whoever it is she means when she uses the royal "we".Hypercase said:

Turning 18 marks the legal transition from being a minor to an adult in many countries. This means that an individual gains certain rights and responsibilities, such as being able to vote, sign contracts, and make their own medical decisions.
There are many ways to celebrate your 18th birthday, depending on your personal preferences. Some ideas include throwing a party, going on a trip, pampering yourself with a spa day, or simply spending quality time with loved ones.
As an 18-year-old, you have access to a wider range of activities and experiences. Some fun things you can now do include attending concerts and events, traveling without parental consent, and participating in certain sports and outdoor activities.
While turning 18 does come with new responsibilities, you do not have to make all important life decisions right away. Take your time to figure out your goals and aspirations, and make decisions that align with them.
There is no one right answer to this question. However, some suggestions include setting achievable goals, trying new things, surrounding yourself with positive influences, and staying true to yourself and your values.
