People also turn 1 year old the day before their birthday. Like you said a babies first birthday is the start of their second year. Meaning you can legally purchase alcohol the day before your 21st or 18th birthday depending on your local laws.
That doesn’t sound right to me. Discounting leap years, you should turn 1 year old on your first birthday at the time of your birth (or considering the existence of leap years, 6 hours later than that, either the day of or the day before, depending).

The attorney general’s office has opined that a person attains his/her next year of age on the day prior to his/her birthday. (1963 Va. AG LEXIS 215; 1962-1963 Op. Atty Gen. Va. 87)
