well this is what i found: Number seven, a very cabalistic and used number thru history, is considered lucky among other reasons for being the number of perfection. God, The Bible says, created the Universe in 7 days. Thus 6 is the imperfect number, this is why 666 is the number of Satan or the Beast. On dices, where seven is a winning number, to get a 7 you need one dice on 6 and a 1 on the opposite side on the other dice. All opposite side numbers adds to 7. This is only an additional contribution to the answer by Flizzera, which nicely answered this question.
Seven Lucky Gods The Seven Gods of Fortune (七福神, Shichi Fukujin?), commonly referred to in English as the Seven Lucky Gods, refer to the seven gods of good fortune in Japanese mythology and folklore. They are often the subject of netsuke carvings and other representations. Each has a traditional attribute: Hotei, the fat and happy god of abundance and good health Jurōjin, god of wisdom Fukurokuju, god of happiness, wealth and longevity Bishamonten, god of warriors (japanese name for Hindu god, Kubera) Benzaiten (Benten-sama), goddess of knowledge, art and beauty, especially music (japanese name for Hindu god, Saraswati Daikokuten (Daikoku), god of wealth, commerce and trade. Japanese name for Hindu god, Shiva. Ebisu and Daikoku are often paired and represented as carvings or masks on the walls of small retail shops Ebisu, god of fishers or merchants, often depicted carrying a sea bream From left to right: Hotei, Jurōjin, Fukurokuju, Bishamonten, Benzaiten, Daikokuten, Ebisu.Many figures in Japanese myth were transmitted from China (some having entered China from India), including all of the Seven Lucky Gods except Ebisu. Another god, Kichijōten, goddess of happiness, is sometimes found depicted along with the seven traditional gods, replacing Jurōjin. The reasoning being that Jurōjin and Fukurokuju were originally manifestations of the same Taoist deity, the Southern Star. However, as is often the case in folklore, Japanese gods sometimes represent different things in different places. The seven gods are often depicted on their ship, the Takarabune (宝船), or "Treasure Ship." The tradition holds that the seven gods will arrive in town on the New Year and distribute fantastic gifts to worthy people. Children often receive red envelopes emblazoned with the Takarabune which contain gifts of money around the New Year. The Takarabune and its passengers are often depicted in art in varied locations, from the walls of museums to cuddly caricatures.

Because in America, the legal age to buy/consume alcohal is 21 years old. And when you finally turn 21 you feel no need to have to smuggle/steel alcohal. So you can go out and drink. You also get an I.D. and most people feel like a boss with them.

This is debatable. My personal opinion is that "as me" is more logical. Questions like this have no definitive answer because there is no single ultimate authority on the Engl
