I will be 27 years and 5 months old this June, when I'll take the first train. Will I be eligible for the EU rail Youth pass?
It shows 12-27 years old for Youth, and 28+ for the Adult. I think I fall in between 27 and 28.
Which one should I get?

In Western countries, ages for eligibility purposes are reckoned in whole years. You became "27 years old" on your 27th birthday, and you will remain so up to, and including, the day before your 28th birthday. Travellers who, on their first day of travel, have reached their 12th birthday, and have not reached their 28th birthday, are eligible for the Eurail Youth Pass. Even if they have their 28th birthday during travel, the pass remains valid.
To travel with a
discounted Youth Pass, you must be aged from 12 up to and including 27
on the start date of the Eurail Pass.

@chx It's not a matter of a particular set of T&C because "everybody knows" how to reckon ages -- namely as a whole number of years, rounding down. Children learn this without even being taught, if they grow up in the west. The OP may not know this, if he's from a culture that handles birthdays and ages differently - or if he knows that some cultures do it differently and is unsure if Europe is one of those - but that doesn't mean a particular company's documents would spell out things that "everybody knows".

If the drinking age is 18, do you think you'd be able to buy alcohol if you're between 17 and 18?

@DmitryGrigoryev I understand your point. But, there's a clear line in your example, anything below 18 is not eligible, anything above is eligible. If you check here, it's not clearly given what happens to people between 27 and 28.

You cannot be "between" 27 and 28 years old in this context. When laws or regulations decree that a certain age, in years, provides, or removes, an entitlement or obligation, you reach that age on the appropriate birthday, and you keep that age until your next birthday.

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because this is a legal question. I re-asked on law.stackexchange.com/q/38255/6859 where it belongs.

@chx What's the legal aspect? It's a question about eligibility for a particular kind of travel pass, which simply hinges on whether "12-27 years" means "If your age is completed years is between 12 and 27 inclusive" or "If you're between your 12th and 27th birthdays."
