The test would check that you understand that it might fry some neurons (I actually don't know how bad alcohol is on brain development at this age) and leave you someone disabled compared to another kid who hasn't had alcohol until a certain age. There would also be a test that determines whether you need parental supervision to do various kinds of things, including taking drinking-ability tests. So I think there would be a way for some gifted kids to gain more freedom from the law or from their oppressive parents but it would be rare.
