Where does this math come from?
Nah, it checks out. I ran the numbers myself and I got 15.33, which is roughly 15. This, of course, assumes the age of adulthood is 21 for humans and 100 for elves, and we don't really have a reason to doubt those numbers.
Why would we assume that you have to be 21 years old or the equivalent to drink alcohol in a medieval fantasy world?
There are still many parts of the modern world that allow 16 year olds to drink.
And even in the medieval time period of Europe, pretty much everyone would drink alcohol because it was cleaner than water, although younger people would tend to drink "small beers" that had very light alcohol.
My assumption would be that in this time frame, if the bartender judged you competent and capable of drinking, they would sell you alcohol.
If they didn't, they wouldn't, and the only consequence would be that you're on your own in dealing with the effects of alcohol on you.
The dwarf is in a hoodie and holding a phone. Why do you think this is medieval fantasy?
because of the background and helmet, and the elfs clothing.
Those helmets were never worn outside of ceremonies, and those clothes are more victorian than medieval. And while the background does look olden style, there's no reason a place can't still look like that in the modern day.
There's more to say this isn't medieval than to say that it is.
I own that top in black.
You are such a medieval wench though.
My entire apartment looks like the later episodes of serial experiment lain.
