It seems to agree with this study: https://www.thelancet.com/cms/10.1016/S0140-6736(22)00847-9/... Looking at table S1, Western Europe, second-to-last column (male TMREL), 2020 numbers, the age range 20-24 should only drink 0.155 grams alcohol/day, or about 1 12-oz beer (US standard drink) every 3 months.

I have a strong suspicion that the data shows a correlation, potentially showing that socialization is important, not the alcohol itself. We really could use a legal intoxicant of this kind with fewer nasty side effects. They already exist.
