that’s not how this works!! it’s silly to assume all other species reach maturity at the same point proportional to their average lifespan! almost as silly as to assume all species reach maturity after the same absolute time.
Well this is RPG memes and 100 is when an elf is considered an adult in DnD so
That is how it works (legally and culturally)
Of course it’s also a medievalish world and they didn’t care that it ruined brain development. I guess you might argue that dwarves and elves would though, particularly since a brain damaged drunken youth is going to be a problem for a lot longer
I think the general consensus is that it’s elven society that considers 100 the age of maturity. Elves grow to adulthood at the same rate as humans, but the knowledge and worldly experience they must gain is what elves see as being an adult.
So, a 73 year old elf would be more than able to drink responsibly
We don’t know what the alcohol content of the drink is, as when alcoholic drinks were the standard they were much lower AC than today’s, nor do we know how impactful alcohol is to elven physiology.

I do love the “elves are diapers till age 12” joke though…
And then at age 13 they turn into underwear.

I thought elves were a lot more resistant to the effects of alcohol anyway. Elf children could probably drink without issues!
Except if this was how it worked, then elves would be babies for like 10 years before being toddlers for like 30 and teenagers for 50-70 years.
A decade as a toddler? Nah.
I think it’s fair to say elves reach maturity almost as quickly, just age slower after reaching maturity. Same with dwarves, etc.

What attack bonus do you need to reliably hit that drink?
You have to blow THAC0
