[The Land of the Ephyral]

═───╡❖╞────────═ DRINKING AGE IN THE FREEHOLD ═────────╡❖╞───═
╞────────═ OFFICIAL DOCUMENT OF THE SPHERE OF THE INTERIOR ═────────╡

As with many other matters of moral regulation in the Freehold, the concept of drinking age largely falls down to the supervision of the familial father exercising control over his family unit. First, it must be clarified that with a small number of exceptions, it is considered an indecency for women to consume alcohol, especially in public, but also effectively in private, as the familial father who permits his wife, daughters, or granddaughters to consume alcohol simply because they are not in the public eye may be said to lack effective control over his family and be morally deficient himself.

As for men, there is no legal required age to consume alcohol, although only men of majority (fifteen and older) are able to purchase it. It is in fact common place for male children above the age of seven to be prepared for their upcoming adult life by observing social gatherings that involve moderated drinking such as symposiums, which are also attended by women who as previously mentioned abstain from the alcohol consumption of their male peers.

All the proof a male citizen would need of his age of majority to purchase alcohol would be to do so wearing his toga of manhood, whilst a male citizen below the age of majority would be marked by different clothing highlighting his legal inviolability, and the fact that selling him alcohol would be considered a corrupting influence outside of the guidance of his familial father. The law is thus largely ambiguous or entirely removed from these matters, as alcohol is socially regulated rather than state regulated. Boys under fifteen and women generally are likewise seen as unfit to enter establishments where the selling of alcohol is the primary or major business, though once again this is down to citizen families to enforce. Non-citizen women in particular may enter such establishments, though this would confirm to a citizen the lack of moral decency already inferred by her status.

For males therefore, the customary age of independent drinking is fifteen, though many may partake in a very moderated fashion from the age of seven, emulating their elder peers at symposiums and other social events with the consumption of heavily diluted wine.

For females, the exceptions to their moral prohibition on the consumption of alcohol raise more interesting customs. A woman's wedding night is considered a day where her consumption of alcohol is not only tolerable but encouraged, to help calm nerves and to ease her transition from girl to wife. The most frequent age at first-time marriage for Ephyral women is eighteen, but marriage is legal - though highly uncommon - from the age of thirteen. Certain religious festivals and rites also socially permit or encourage the female consumption of heavily diluted alcohol, which may like boys see their involvement from the age of seven onwards, through their teens, young adulthood, middle, and old age. Outside of these circumstances however, the citizen female's consumption of alcohol is a source of dishonour and disgrace, in contrast to the stereotyped foreign women's alcoholic liberality. As no self-respecting citizen woman would enter an establishment whose primary commerce is alcohol, this question is irrelevant to them.

In short, drinking is socially not legally regulated. Boys may begin consuming alcohol from the age of seven in controlled environments in preparation for adult life. The male age of majority at fifteen is the minimum for the purchasing of alcohol. Women and girls are socially restricted in the contexts in which they can consume alcohol, with certain religious events and their wedding night being the primary exceptions; aside from this, the age aligns with their male peers.

[Coconut Palm Island]

In Coconut Palm Island, alcohol is classified as a Class B, or "soft", drug. As such, the drinking age is 16. However, some forms of hard alcohol (like Vodka) are classified as a Class A, or "hard", drug, with a minimum age of 18.

The two-tiered system is also used for drugs. Class B drugs (min 16 years old) include most alcohol, cannabis, sedatives, hallucinogens (LSD/mushrooms), disassociates (like Ketamine), and most other drugs. Class A drugs (min 18 years old) include nicotine/tobacco, heroin and fentanyl and other strong opioids, cocaine, amphetamine/methamphetamine, and other more dangerous drugs.

However, it should be noted that many of these drugs, including alcohol and cannabis, are used to treat certain medical conditions, or are prescribed to people with substance use disorders to prevent them from using more dangerous and unpredictable street drugs. When prescribed this way, they are considered Class M-A or Class M-B (M for medical) drugs. M-A and M-B drugs, when prescribed by a doctor, are available to people of all ages. Alcohol is occasionally prescribed in small, controlled doses for some anxiety disorders when traditional medications have failed.
