Not quite right you can smoke,gamble and consent to male homosexual sex at 16.  There is no age limit to female homosexual sex, Queen Victoria refused to believe such people existed.

As regards Butterbeer if it was alcoholic and assuming the wizard laws were similar to muggle ones Ron would not be able to buy it in till he was 18.
