 new file
This media file needs to be cleaned up, because: Contrary to this map, the minimum drinking age in Cuba is actually 16 years of age (see below). Additionally, some countries have different laws regarding minimum age to purchase and minimum age to consume (and as such, the map should be checked to confirm the correct age is represented)..
For help, see Commons:Media for cleanup.
