    I think the general consensus is that it’s elven society that considers 100 the age of maturity. Elves grow to adulthood at the same rate as humans, but the knowledge and worldly experience they must gain is what elves see as being an adult.

    So, a 73 year old elf would be more than able to drink responsibly

      So, just like a human teenager, there’s a difference between physical maturity, mental maturity, and the age their brain finishes developing?

      Regardless, the threat to call their parents is still valid and players should absolutely do it if they have an elven teenager PC

        Except that the elf’s parents likely wouldn’t care. If we’re going with D&D generic lore as our base, elves typically are on their own(ish) from physical maturity around 20 and on. They simply flit about with different projects and teachers until around 100.
