In Nebraska your just a minor for drinking under the age of 21. Over the age of 16 you can be charged as an adult for depending on the severity of the crime.

As far as crimes go, people can be charged as an adult as young as 12 or 13 years old nowadays in any state depending on the circumstances. As far as I am aware, the biggest difference in the "minor" age is what age you can gamble.
