The Revised Family Code Proclamation No. 213 (2000) Article 215 defines a minor as anyone who has not attained the full age of 18.

In Canada, however, two provinces, Ontario [in 1979] and Saskatchewan [in 1976], quickly raised their subsequent MLDAs from 18 to 19 years in response to a few studies demonstrating an association between the lowered drinking age and increases in alcohol-related harms to youth and young adults, including increases in <a href="/wiki/Motor_vehicle_accidents" class="mw-redirect" title="Motor vehicle accidents">motor vehicle accidents</a> (MVAs) and <a href="/wiki/Alcohol_intoxication" title="Alcohol intoxication">alcohol intoxication</a> among high school students. Following MLDA reductions in the US, research in several states provided persuasive evidence of sharp increases in rates of fatal and nonfatal MVAs appearing immediately after the implementation of lower drinking ages. These scientific findings galvanized public pressure on lawmakers to raise MLDAs and, in response, the federal government introduced the <a href="/wiki/National_Minimum_Drinking_Age_Act" title="National Minimum Drinking Age Act">National Minimum Drinking Age Act</a> of 1984, which imposed a reduction of highway funds for states if they did not increase their MLDA to 21 years.

Previously, Valencia and Madrid had a minimum purchase age of 16 years, and in Catalonia minors aged 16 or 17 could purchase alcohol up to 23% ABV on- and off-premise.</li> <li>In 2004 <a href="/wiki/Denmark" title="Denmark">Denmark</a><a href="#cite_note-143">[143]</a> raised its off-premise purchase age from 15 to 16 years.</li> <li>In November 2005 Switzerland passed its Food and Commodities Regulation<a href="#cite_note-144">[144]</a> (German: Lebensmittel- und Gebrauchsgegenständeverordnung), introducing a ban on alcohol sales to anyone under the age of 16. The Alcohol Law<a href="#cite_note-145">[145]</a> (German: Alkoholgesetz) passed in 1980 requires a minimum age of 18 years for the retail sale of distilled spirits. Therefore, it is prohibited to sell fermented alcohol (e.g. <a href="/wiki/Beer" title="Beer">beer</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wine" title="Wine">wine</a>, <a href="/wiki/Sparkling_wine" title="Sparkling wine">sparkling wine</a> or <a href="/wiki/Cider" title="Cider">cider</a>) to anyone under the age of 16, and any distilled alcohol beverages to anyone under the age of 18 years. The canton of Ticino has a cantonal law since 1989 that makes the purchase age limit for all alcohol beverages 18 years.<a href="#cite_note-146">[146]</a></li> <li>In 2006 the Spanish autonomous community <a href="/wiki/Castile_and_Le%C3%B3n" title="Castile and León">Castile and León</a><a href="#cite_note-147">[147]</a> raised its minimum purchase age from 16 to 18 years.</li> <li>In late 2006, <a href="/wiki/Gibraltar" title="Gibraltar">Gibraltar</a><a href="#cite_note-148">[148]</a> lawmakers passed the Children and Young Persons (Alcohol, Tobacco and Gaming) Act 2006, which raised the minimum purchase age from 16 to 18 years. But the new law made an exception: minors aged 16 or 17 can purchase and consume beer, wine or cider under 15% ABV on-premise, and pre-packed containers of an alcohol strength not exceeding 5.5% ABV (e.g. <a href="/wiki/Alcopops" class="mw-redirect" title="Alcopops">alcopops</a>).</li> <li>In 2009 <a href="/wiki/France" title="France">France</a><a href="#cite_note-149">[149]</a> raised its minimum purchase age to 18 years,<a href="#cite_note-SantePublique3-150">[150]</a><a href="#cite_note-SantePublique4-151">[151]</a> and fines were increased for selling or serving alcohol to a minor (up to €7,500). Previously, the minimum age was 16 years for off-premise and on-premise purchases of low-alcohol beverages (up to 3% ABV) such as wine, beer, cider, perry, mead, crème de cassis and juices from fermented fruits or vegetables that contain 1.2 to 3° alcohol, natural sweet wines from controlled cultivation and 18 for higher-ABV beverges.</li> <li>In October 2009, the government of <a href="/wiki/Malta" title="Malta">Malta</a><a href="#cite_note-152">[152]</a> passed a new law raising its drinking and purchase age from 16 to 17 years.</li> <li>In 2010 the Spanish autonomous community of <a href="/wiki/Galicia_(Spain)" title="Galicia (Spain)">Galicia</a> raised its minimum purchase age from 16 to 18 years.<a href="#cite_note-153">[153]</a></li> <li>In 2011 <a href="/wiki/Denmark" title="Denmark">Denmark</a><a href="#cite_note-154">[154]</a> passed a law raising the minimum age for off-premise sale of alcohol beverages of >16.5% ABV to 18 years of age.
