Maci Bookout turns 21, shares first legal drinking photos, celebrates in Charlotte

Aug, 10, 2012 | AUTHOR: Asa Hawks; | Related : Maci Bookout, Teen Mom

Today is a very special day for Teen Mom star Maci Bookout as she turns 21 years old and can finally give all of us in the “media” the Johnny Cash salute with pictures of her legally drinking alcohol.

Maci and her pals are currently in Charlotte, North Carolina where she will be hosting her own birthday bash at Butter NC, located in the NC Music Factory, later tonight. Here’s the poster:

But before her big party, Maci took to Twitter and shared the photo at the top of this post along with the tweet, “my legal bloody mary at lunch ”

In addition to the inevitable throw-down later tonight at Butter, Maci and her friends have been having a blast just outside of Charlotte at Carowinds Amusement Park. The group took a plunge on the After Burn ride:

And also posed for an Old West vintage photo:

Things are sure to get a little crazy tonight, especially if this photo of her 21st birthday presents from her boyfriend Kyle King is any indication!

(We all know what the bottles are, but just in case you were wondering, that’s a Michael Kors watch in the foreground.)

Maci is always great about sharing photos with her fans, and if there are any from the party tonight we will try to add them to the post. I just hope it goes better than her Teen Mom cast mate Farrah Abraham’s 21st birthday party did

Oh, and Happy Birthday Maci!

UPDATE - Here is Maci’s Twitter timeline from all through the afternoon and night, with photos inserted where they belong:

I’d like to see her mix all those drinks and then ask how she feels with tomorrow’s lovely hangover.
LOL

I’m worried about this girl. I used to hang out with friends who were all about partying and and glamourizing drinking just like Maci does. All we’d do is drink and we’d do it many times a week. Didn’t know how to do anything else without it. Started as a teen too and that’s how I attended up at AA meetings at 21 years old. It wasn’t just normal teen partying. It was too frequent, and too hardcore. Wasted everytime. I’m seeing similar stuff with Maci and I hope she is okay and keeps herself in check.

and the next morning, with a huge hangover, who will take care of HER son???
- Erica
  
  Um, how about his FATHER…possibly her PARENTS…your life doesn’t end when you have a child. She’s allowed to celebrate her birthday however she chooses as long as she’g gotten a sitter, which I’m sure she’s done!
  - Steph
    
    No it does not end. But it needs to CHANGE. That’s part of being a responsible parent. If she is going out every Friday and Saturday night getting crazy, there is no way she is being the best mom to Bentley she can be. Yeah, he has a dad, and yeah, he has grandparents, but you should not give your kid to others every single weekend. People can say its fine all they want. It isn’t.
- whoa
  
  My guess would be the child’s FATHER because he is also a parent that gets to take care of the little one. Having a child doesn’t mean you have to give up your life, it is a person’s choice to do that. Maci cares for her son and he is not without love and affection from her.
  - Steph
    
    Ehh, I was talking about the drinking… of course your life doesnt ends when you have a child, and you still can have fun time to time.
    I am 1 year older than Maci, I have a 3 year old, and before of his birth, I used to party a lot and drink at those parties, the next day I stayed in bed all day. Since the birth of my son, sometimes (like once per month or less) I go out, but I always make sure to come home on time and no drinking. So the next morning, I am not tired or have a hangover, so I can take care of my son. Ive been following Maci on twitter quite a while, and all she seems to do every weekend is partying, a lot of drinking and going on vacations with her friends.
    - whoa
      
      Just because she goes out and drinks doesn’t mean that she brings it around her child. She was out of town and I highly doubt her son was with her so I don’t think she will be around him drunk. Everyone can parent however they would like, Maci has her way and others have their’s, that doesn’t mean that one way is better then the other. As long as that child is healthy and happy then that is what matters. I know that these girls have their lives taped so they open themselves up to people bashing their parenting, but some need to chill out and stop picking at every little thing while making themselves out to be the perfect parent.

      steph, Maci dosnt have bentley every weekend, its called shared custody. The girl just turned 21 and she isnt allowed to get ****ed up because shes a mother? not allowed to go out on weekends she dosnt have her kid because shes a mother? im not to fond of this show but your comments are ignorant .
Pam

Maci is looking extremely thin. It really stands out when she is sitting next to her friend who looks like a normal healthy girl. I mean really her arms look like sticks.
- Jessica
  
  A while back on her formspring she was asked how she stays thin. She replied that her doctor makes her drink those weight-gain shakes to keep her weight up. So I guess she goes through phases of drinking them and not. I would imagine that its just as hard for some to gain as it is for some to lose, I hope thats her case.
Jon

Too bad she doesn’t realize that she is saying to her kid when he gets older that its OK to be drunk. Boozing leads to trouble. No matter what.
Ashley

I don’t get why her 21st birthday is such a big deal to her, since she’s obviously been drinking and going out to clubs for awhile. And seriously, is just being able to legally purchase and drink alcohol really this big of a deal??
- mi
  
  exactly!! if this was any of the other teen moms they’d be ripped apart. not sure how this girl comes off looking saint-like.
Babyvamp

LOL I went to Vegas for my 21st…that’s how its done!!
Courtney

I think I might be totally missing something but I still have to ask….. Where’s Kyle? How come he isn’t in any of the pictures of her celebrating her birthday? Was he not there?
- LOL
  
  Nah he went on a vacation to Panama
  
  if you see them on twitter you’ll see that.
  
  Maci is kinda bitchy about it but they were broken up for a while, maybe he booked the trip during that time so obviously he’d still go. I’m sure he has a good reason
Miranda

lol @ people judging her like they actually know her because they watch a small EDITED portion of her life on tv. smh
Kelly

It seems like she never stops partying!
Sarah

I used to think that Maci looked really pretty but she’s become very hideous these past couple of years.
Heather

I thought Maci and Kyle were still not back together? The arctice refers to Kyle as her boyfriend. Did they get back together?
amber

Maci and Kyle are back together. And yes it is OK and somewhat good for a mother to go out and enjoy her self maybe get a little drunk but does Maci do that? NO! do I know her personally? No but I read her and her friends twitter along with a lot of other people and all that has been posted is about partying and pictures of partying and she has like always been seen with an alcoholic beverage! She rarely posts pics of her and Bentley BC there’s more pics of her drunk a$$ I used to like her and its okay going out every now and then and another thing its like she’s never alone with Bentley she ALWAYS has friends there with them I mean heck she even leaves with friends and Bentley and anytime her friends leave she’s on twitter come back home I need y’all I mean seriously she needs to grow up this fame has got to her she was a nice looking girl in the beginning and was real and could be named a favorite but now she’s skinny always dieing her hair boob jobs new guys partying drinking she wants off teen mom BC she doesn’t want Bentley in the spotlight yet wants MTV to make a show abt her moving to la trying to be a journalist. She can’t even stay in college! She’s always dropping out and worrying abt other things its taking her forever and just BC u have a kid that shouldn’t have slowed her down especially since Shea getting big bucks from MTV and her parents already have money and she has people there to support her she’s just blowing it! When my 21st bday gets here ill be staying at home or possibly at the olive garden or a nice restaurant might by a small glass of wine but I’d be spending it with my son personally I don’t even see how anyone can drink alcohol BC I think its nasty the taste anyway. And another thing is she’s in the public eye ud think shed be more careful abt pics being posted ect besides when Bentley gets older this stuff is on the internet permanently! What will he think? Honestly I think Ryan has matured and maci has gotten worse Ryan has a job that consists of more than speaking to teens who wouldn’t even care abt anything u had to say if u weren’t on TV and filming your life also Ryan now has an apartment he seems to be doing good for himself you don’t see him partying and drinking all the time and if he is at least its not in the public eye sheeze!
britney

ok so now a teenage mother is getting paid to host parties who is she kim kardashian? just another example of how the world is going down the drains. I have nothing more to say the pictures say it all
britney

maci get a real job
pla

I can’t stand her. The funny thing is I used to really like her, but she is a non-stop partying biotch & she brags about being a “good mom” to Bentley… if she was a really good mom, she would stay in and have a wine cooler or something, not BINGE DRINK hundreds of miles away with her booze buddies.
hardly home

LMAO she’s been drinking and partying for years, what difference does this make? Also, the fact that has a banner that says “MTV Star” is hilarious. Milk those last 15 minutes girl, your time will be up by the end of the year. We all know she’s been blowing her MTV money up the wahoo.
Auntie

I know right? I never liked her from the beginning anyway and I still do not see how she is the best mom of Teen Mom I do not get it
