 Age of First Drink of Alcohol
First, the researchers studied age at first drink and substance use, mental health disorders, education, I.Q., education and personality in a sample of 2,670 adults.
The researchers concluded that age at first drink is not causally associated with alcoholism but is associated with a wide range of indicators of disinhibited behavior and psychopathology.
So it would appear that, at best, attempts to raise the age of first drink would be ineffective in reducing alcohol abuse and alcoholism.

An age of war and strife retaining many of the decimating and disastrous effects of the Ages of Chaos.

During the Ages of Chaos and the time of Hundred Kingdoms, there where two orders of women who set themselves apart from the patriarchal nature of Darkovan feudal society: the priestesses of Avarra, and the warriors of the Sisterhood of the Sword.

 drugs & age of first use - Age of First Use among Admissions for Drugs: 1993 & 2003; SAMHSA,Office of Applied Studies
Among substance abuse treatment admissions whose earliest reported drug of abuse at admission was stimulants, opiates, or cocaine, the average age of first use rose between 1993 and 2003: for stimulants from age 18.5 to age 19.7; for opiates from age 21.0 to age 22.1; and for cocaine from age 22.5 to age 22.7.
The average age of first use among substance abuse treatment admissions whose earliest reported drug of abuse was marijuana, however, decreased from age 15.1 in 1993 to age 14.6 in 2003.
While the average age at first use of any drug remained the same or decreased between 1993 and 2003 for all age groups, the percentage of substance abuse treatment admissions starting drug use before age 13 increased for all age groups except those age 18-24 at treatment admission.

 The Grey Havens - Middle-earth: A Chronology of the First Age
First Quenta Silmarillion provides no quantitative indication of the passage of time before the creation of the Sun and the return of the Noldorin Exiles; indeed, before the creation of the Two Trees the Valar apparently did not concern themselves with the measurement of Time.
The three ages of the Chaining of Melkor were obviously vastly longer than the three periods between the poisoning of the Two Trees and the first rising of the Sun, "but of bliss and glad life there is little to be said, before it ends."
Of course, if the birth of Nienor "in the first beginning of the year"' occurred in January instead of in March (both are possible), then her birth would remain dated 474, but Dagor Bragollach should be changed to 456 and the Fell Winter to 497.
