18+ Consume beer, wine and distilled alcohol and may purchase.

[Madrinet]

Each lieutenancy is entitled to impose its own legal drinking age, but the King issued instructions to the Lords Lieutenant that no Lieutenancy should permit people below the age of 16 to purchase alcoholic beverages. This instruction was largely enforced in most Lieutenancies except Aviyonne (a popular tourist destination where alcohol has become a problem), where the drinking age is pegged at 18. There is no law prohibiting people of any age to consume alcohol.

[Nevertopia]

[New-Bornholm]

What is the drinking age in your nation and why?
16 (<15% ABV) or 18 (>15% ABV). This is because it is seen as sensible to allow people to start alcohol at an early age so they can build up a tolerance to it and learn their limits, but strong alcohol is considered unsafe for those younger than 18. It should be noted that this law only applies to drinks served in public establishments; there is no legally defined age at which a child can consume alcohol at home, as that is viewed as the parents' decision.
How strictly enforced is it?
It is not very strictly enforced. Bartenders and cashiers generally don't bother asking for ID unless the purchaser looks exceptionally young. Underage drinkers are usually only approached by the police if they are causing a public disturbance.
What is the age restriction for entering bars and clubs in your nation?
Usually 16 for bars and 18 for clubs.
What age do you have to be to sell or serve alcohol in your nation?
16 - the legal working age.
Is the drinking age the same as the age of majority in your nation?
There is no single legally defined age of majority, but it is generally considered to be 18.
Did your nation always have the drinking age it does now?
No - prior to 2001 all alcoholic beverages could be purchased at the age of 16.

[Middle Barael]

What is the drinking age in your nation and why? 21, because this is considered to be a safe balance between safety and reality. If it were any higher, the teens would still drink it anyway, but it wouldn’t be regulated or legal and it would be more dangerous, while if it were younger, it could negatively effect the mental health of the teens.

How strictly enforced is it? Moderately. While you will get fined or even arrested if caught, many break this rule and start drinking around the ages of 16-20, and they are often never caught.

What is the age restriction for entering bars and clubs in your nation? Also 21. Any service, action, or product that may cause damage to a person, such as active deployment in the military, smoking, or drinking, are only permitted at the age of 21 or later.

What age do you have to be to sell or serve alcohol in your nation? To serve you must be 21, although it is illegal to serve alcohol on school or college campuses, while to sell, you must be 21 and you need a license, though the alcohol license is very hard to get.

Is the drinking age the same as the age of majority in your nation? No. The Age of Majority is 18, while the Age of Potentially Dangerous Activities (aka the Ages of smoking, drinking, active military deployment, etc.) is 21. The Voting Age is automatically 18, but if one can either pass a political literacy test or if they have taken a specific
one-hour long class on political parties ad candidates within 30 days of the election, you may vote at the age of 16 or 17 as well.

Did your nation always have the drinking age it does now? For a while, we had no drinking age until 1949. From 1949-1971, the drinking age was 18. Finally, in 1993, the government accidentally removed a law stating the drinking age as 21, and so for about a week and a half, the drinking age was legally 16. Even though they found out that the law was removed only a day after it happened, it took until the third day for the Parliament to meet to discuss the matter, and some of the members of the Progressive Party and the Youth Party (two old parties that no longer exist) used the filibuster to stop the vote because they supported lowering the drinking age.

[Andocara]

What is the drinking age in your nation and why? The drinking age in Mainland Andocara is 20. In Latin Andocara (Northern and Southern Andocara), the legal drinking age is 18, and in Midway, the legal age is 19. The reason Latin Andocara's drinking age is 18 is attributed to a stronger European influence. And the reason why Midway's is 19 is because it needed to mediate between Mainland Andocara's drinking age and Latin Andocara's drinking age.

How strictly enforced is it? About 7/10. Pretty strict but not millitant strict.

What is the age restriction for entering bars and clubs in your nation? 20, 18, or 19 depending on where you live.

[Anurial]

What is the drinking age in your nation and why?
Sale and distribution of alcohol, as well as tobacco and cannabis, from licensed establishments, is limited to 16 or older. This is an attempt to encourage responsible people to allow a responsible amount to younger individuals while keeping in line with libertarian principles. However, technically speaking, there is no formal drinking age, though child protection services will intervene in certain instances if necessary.

How strictly enforced is it?
Workplaces are ran by the workers, meaning they're largely self-regulating and don't need harsh enforcement

[Purpuriae]

Although the Kingdom of Purpuria is an absolute monarchy, its laws are very hands-off and drinking is no exception. In the view of every king and queen to date, it's not the state's business to regulate the private activities of consenting individuals. So there's no legally mandated minimum age for buying or drinking alcohol. There's also no taboo against drinking by teens, and the generally accepted age of majority is 13 to 16. In addition, distilled liquors are rare in Purpuria. Mead and wine are by far the most popular alcoholic drinks, and their low alcohol content makes overdosing hard.

What is the drinking age in your nation and why? No minimum age.

How strictly enforced is it?

[Lacewind]

What is the drinking age in your nation and why?
The drinking age in Lacewind is a tedious 16. The parties that are attended by the varying royalty and elite of society serve alcohol almost exclusively. Young minds of suitable age are to partake in these festivities, in order to strengthen their social position. It would be quite impolite to not drink, as it violates the long-standing social protocols. In addition, Lacewind commoner festivals are famed for their homebrew, which can be consumed by even the toddler, albeit with a case for mild hallucinatory effects.

How strictly enforced is it?
It is not enforced with a lot of strictness. This is mainly because most of the alcohol in the nation is home-produced and maintains a certain approved flavour and standard. Only alcohol imported from other nations and dominions is a cause for scrutiny and must be consumed under supervision.

What is the age restriction for entering bars and clubs in your nation?
The pubs may be entered by anybody. However, purchase of alcohol is only possible at the age of 16, starting with the light flutes. The older and wiser at the age of 18, may start to consume heavier wood-based drinkage. Those of the age of 21 may move on to the smokes.

What age do you have to be to sell or serve alcohol in your nation?
Selling alcohol is to be done by those aged 18 and above. Workers younger than 21 may not steal smokes, or they shall be put in the stocks and their flannels lit for public humiliation.

Is the drinking age the same as the age of majority in your nation?
No. The major citizens are those who have crossed 25.

Did your nation always have the drinking age it does now?
No. In the years prior to this millenium, there was no drinking age. However, the number of delusional children who made incredibly more articulate and didactic political leaders was a cause of concern. Hence, the restriction was placed.

[Indigoja]

The drinking age is 16 here in the Borderlands. Rarely are people ever ID'd at saloons, but it is highly illegal to supply alcohol to anyone under 16. Doing so results in a fifth degree punishment, a line of Stoning.

[The Thalassocrats]
