At what instant does someone reach the legal age for entering a?

I seriously doubt the time zone method would work, though I did consider trying it. I was born at 1:20 a.m. in the Eastern Time Zone. When I turned 21, I lived in the Pacific Time Zone. So I thought about going to a bar at 10:20 p.m. Pacific Time the night before my birthday and ordering a drink, keeping my birth certificate with me so I could point out my time of birth. But I had to leave town that day and didnt have a chance to get a drink until the next night, when it was unambiguously my 21st birthday. If I had tried that method, I suspect one of these things would have happened: They wouldnt ask for ID. They would have told me to return the next day. They would have said I should return at midnight.
