List

Country/region	De jure		Notes
	Drinking age	Purchase age
Datch Union	None		The Datch Union has no formal drinking age, instead persons are expected to be legally responsible for their own consumption. Consumption of alcohol, or other intoxicants can be an aggravating factor in the punishment of other offenses against the community.
Datchlia	18		The drinking age in the State of Datchlia is 18 years of age. Those accompanied by parents are allowed to consume alcohol at a younger age however, and enforcement is rather lax.
Capisaria	14	16/18 (see notes)	16 for wine/beer, 18 for hard liquor. The Capisarian government lowered the drinking/purchasing age from 18/21 to its current level in 1995 in response to research from University of Donovan students that proved an unhealthy culture towards alcohol existed due to the drinking age being so high, and the safety concerns were deemed to be unfounded due to advances in car safety.
