What do you think the legal drinking age is in the SW universe? Or do you think it varies from planet to planet or species to species.

Each planet
had its on legislation. The Galactic Senate existed to regulate trade between planets,
it’s job was to legislate for entire galaxy not individual planets. Think of it
as our UN, each member have to follow certain rules but it does not interfere
with their culture or internal legislation.

We know
that in many places you needed to be at least older than 16 to be allowed to
drink and vote.

Ben’s jaw
set. Now, as was often the case whenever his tendency toward stubbornness hit
him, he truly resembled his mother. “You’re my Master, I’m your student.”

“You’re a
full Jedi Knight now, even if there are
plenty of places in the galaxy where you can’t legally vote or drink. Surely
you didn’t forget your promotion. You only talked about it for two years.” [Fate
of the Jedi: Outcast by Aaron Allston]

This means
local governments were free to make their on legislation on the matter and that
each planet had its own unique approach.
