Are you trying to say that the 24 million Dutch-speaking people are all adults who drink?

  Some of them are children who drink. (But they can only drink in private with eg their parents. Purchases are limited to 18+ year olds.)

    16+ year olds for about 6 million speakers of Dutch

      They recently changed the law and increased minimum purchasing age to 18.

        Not according to this site: https://www.vlaanderen.be/regels-voor-verkoop-van-alcohol https://www.vlaanderen.be/regels-voor-verkoop-van-alcohol

          That's a Belgian site. I am going by Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_drinking_age https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_drinking_age and their sources. If that's wrong, please correct the Wikipedia page.

            I was talking about Belgium (note how that site is in Dutch and the number of 6 million approx. matches the number of people speaking Dutch in Belgium, while it doesn't match the number of people speaking Dutch in the Netherlands at all).

    But don't forget the FANGS are regulated by the USA and 18 year olds "drinking beer" (even serving troops) will lead to some serious necklace clutching by senators and congress persons. Makes a good point not all countries regulate alcohol in the same way. Most might not know this but brand x in the USA may be different to Brand X in the UK they may also have different names or even totally different brands - makes geo targeting really hard
