The ages used are for purchasing spirits. In some jurisdictions, especially in Europe, there are tiered drinking ages. For specifics on countries visit Wikipedia and search for "Underage Drinking". Also, note that the drinking age in India varies between 18 and 25 depending on the state. Also, in Morocco it's 18 to drink if you're Muslim, otherwise you can drink at any age.
