Leg lengthening surg: At 18, your growth plates are sealing in so remaining vertical growth is minimal. In a year or two the only real solution would be to have a leg-lengthening surgery--a gruesome procedure but can add a few inches. Keep your body proportionate/good healthy wt--good things come in small packages. If you are not happy with yourself, consult doc for eval. I am pretty sure u r taller than i. Good luck.

Healthy lifestyle: You are most likely to reach your tallest potential height by following a healthy diet, getting appropriate sleep & remaining physiclly active.Nothing you eat or drink will add inches.Poor diet/sleep/inactivity can all take a toll.At 21 your growth centers are closed & you are finished growing taller.If you have lots of money & a few years to devote to painful surgeries you can buy more height.
