Is it just a pure coincidence that the legal drinking age in America is 21 and the amendment to repeal prohibition is the 21st?

Yes.

Amendments get numbered in order of their passage, without any relation to their subject matter. Regarding the drinking age, 21 was the legal age of adulthood for some time; up until the 26th Amendment (1971), it was the legal voting age.
