I feel like it would be the same as countries outside the US: If you can reach over the bar to order, you're allowed to drink.
So it must really suck to be a gnome or halfling.
Ah, yes, "outside the US", where there are no laws...

Funnily, despite what OP suggests, it's if anything MORE difficult to get alcohol outside the states, especially for teens.
Everywhere I've personally been outside the US either didn't have or at least didn't enforce any age for purchasing alcohol.
For reference, those countries were Ireland, Germany, Mexico, France and Canada.
I think all of those have alcohol laws. Personal experience with some of those it is enforced too.
I live in the UK and you still get ID checks for many places. It's not as lax as you make out, although it definitely depends on the specific establishment you are talking about.
